Clinical trials are vital in developing new ways for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. Through these trials, we also learn about the safety and efficacy of new therapies and medicines.
During a clinical trial, participants receive specific interventions, based on which researchers determine if those interventions are safe and effective. Interventions studied in clinical trials could be new cancer drugs or new combinations of drugs, new medical procedures, new surgical techniques or devices, new ways to use existing treatments, and even lifestyle or behavior changes.
Typically, the patient or his or her insurance company is asked to pay for any routine tests, treatments, or procedures that would be required as part of standard cancer treatment. Before you join a clinical trial, you will receive an informed consent document that spells out exactly what you’ll have to pay for and what you won’t.
All clinical trials have guidelines spelling out who can participate. These are called eligibility criteria. The factors that allow you to participate in a clinical trial can include age, gender, the type and stage of your disease, previous treatment history, and other medical conditions also known as inclusion criteria
