Some of the questions answered include: What is a clinical trial? * Why participate in a clinical trial? * Who can participate in a clinical trial? * What happens during a clinical trial? * What is informed consent? * What are the benefits and risks of participating in a clinical trial? * What are side effects and adverse reactions? * How is the safety of the participant protected? * What should people consider before participating in a trial? * What kind of preparation should a potential participant make for the meeting with the research coordinator or doctor? * Does a participant continue to work with a primary health care provider while in a trial? * Can a participant leave a clinical trial after it has begun? * Where do the ideas for trials come from? * Who sponsors clinical trials? * What is a protocol? * What is a placebo? * What is a control or control group? * What are the different types of clinical trials? * What are the phases of clinical trials? * What is "expanded access". There is information on: Types and Phases * Treatment Trials * Prevention Trials * How Participants Are Assigned in Randomized Trials * The Clinical Trial Protocol * Exercises * Advancing Cancer Care through Clinical Trials * Evaluating Clinical Trial Results * Approving New Drugs * Participant Protection in Clinical Trials * History of Participant Protection * The Informed Consent Process * Review Committees * Barriers to Clinical Trial Participation * Barriers for Health Care Professionals * Barriers for General Population * Barriers for Racially or Ethnically Diverse Populations * Cost Barriers * Finding Clinical Trials Organizations * Glossary. The public understands very little about clinical trials. Some people are fearful of being "guinea pigs," even though participants in clinical trials receive high-quality care. Other people are not aware of clinical trials as an option, do not understand how they work, or do not have access to them. Likewise, health care professionals may be unaware of appropriate clinical trials, may not want to refer people out of their practice, may believe that standard therapy is best, or may think that getting involved in clinical trials will add an undue administrative burden to their work.
