Why are clinical trials important?
Treatment Discovery
Clinical trials are important for discovering new treatments for diseases, as well as new ways to detect, diagnose, and reduce the chance of developing the disease.
Builds a healthier future
Usually by the time a treatment makes it to the stage of a clinical trial, it has been found to be safe and to have some chance of being effective. In some cases, a treatment is safe and already FDA-approved and standard practice in one disease, and the clinical trial is testing it in another type of disease.
Benefits us all
Taking part in a clinical trial can have many benefits. For example, you may gain access to new treatments before they’re widely available. If a new treatment is proven to work and you’re in the group getting it, you might be among the first to benefit. You also will have the support of a team of health care providers, who will likely monitor your health closely.
The choice is yours
While clinical trials are important, the choice to participate in one is very personal and depends on your unique situation.

- Your participation could help other people in the future with your same disease, by contributing to advancing research.
- You could receive a treatment that is not available outside of the clinical trial. Such treatment may be safer and/or more effective than current treatment options.
- This may increase the number of treatment options available to you.
- You may feel more in control by taking a more active role in your health care.
- You will likely be seeing or communicating with your healthcare team so they can monitor your condition for side effects from the new treatment.
How can my family, friends and caregivers support me?
