Research Participant Rights
Research participants have rights like informed consent, voluntary participation, confidentiality, protection from harm, clear communication, and potential access to study results. These safeguards prioritize participant well-being, autonomy, and ethical conduct, fostering trust.
Understanding Your Rights
- Your participation is voluntary. Becoming involved and maintaining your involvement is always your choice.
- You may withdraw your participation at any time.
- You will be fully informed of what your participation involves.
- You will be fully informed of all potential risks associated with the investigational study medication and study procedures before you agree to participate. You will be informed of new risks associated with the investigational medication that may evolve during your study participation. You are encouraged to ask questions and you will be provided with factual and accurate information.
- You will receive study-related medical care during the course of your study participation.
- Before and after study participation, every patient is evaluated and appropriate treatment options are discussed. Many of our studies include a brief series of after-study care visits. Also, we have extensive knowledge of community resources and can provide you with appropriate referrals.
