Clinical trials have strict criteria for eligibility. Speak to your doctor about your interest in clinical trials. Your doctor will be a good resource to help you determine what is best for you.
If you are thinking about taking part in a clinical trial, ask your doctor: “Is there a clinical trial that I can join?” If your doctor does offer you a trial, the following are some of the questions you may want to ask:
Questions about the trial
Questions about risks and benefits
Questions about your rights
Questions about costs
Questions about daily life
Questions about comparing choices
Cancer.net offers additional questions you can ask your healthcare team about clinical trials and offers a link to a mobile app.
