Clinical trials are studies of new drugs, procedures and other treatments in people. Doctors use clinical trials to develop new treatments for serious diseases such as cancer.
Most people who take part in clinical trials hear about them from their doctors. But you don’t have to wait for your doctor to bring up a clinical trial. People with cancer can also look for clinical trials online or in other places to find more options for treatment.
Knowing all you can about clinical trials can help you feel more certain when deciding whether to take part in one.
At cancer.org learn more about clinical trials in general, find tools to help you decide if a clinical trial may be right for you, and search for specific studies you may be eligible for. This will help prepare you to discuss the pros and cons of any possible clinical trials with your doctor and your family and decide whether being in a clinical trial is right for you.
