Clinical Trials

Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Before joining a clinical trial, you may want to ask your doctor questions about the study and your treatment.

• What are you trying to learn from the study?
• What do doctors know already about the treatments being studied?
• What treatments and tests will I get during this trial?
• Who will be in charge of my care during the study?
• What are the differences between what I would get on this treatment and the standard treatment you would recommend?
• What are the benefits and risks?
• How will this affect my daily life?
• How long will the study last?
• What will I be asked to pay?
• How will I know if the study was successful?
