What should I expect?

Before you or your loved one join a trial, your doctor should talk to you about what it's like to be in a trial describing the pros and cons of participating. If you are interested, someone from the clinical trial staff will explain the details of the study, including risks and benefits and your rights as a participant, including your right to withdraw from the study at any point. Once all your questions have been answered, they will ask you to sign an informed consent to participate. After that, the number of visits and treatments are determined by the study plan.
