By volunteering to participate in a clinical trial, you are providing invaluable medical information that cannot be gathered in any other way. This information may help you and many others, while contributing to the advancement of medicine.

There are many reasons why patients choose to participate in a study. Some are looking to learn about new treatments that may help them. Others are altruistic, and want to help advance science while having access to investigational treatments. And still others benefit from the free testing, medications and care they receive in a clinical trial.
