FAQ

Your Biggest Questions First

Is joining a clinical trial like being a "guinea pig"?

No. Every clinical trial must be reviewed by an ethics committee before it starts, with strict safety monitoring and your right to withdraw at any time. You are joining a well-protected, legitimate medical study — not an unsupervised experiment.

Does joining a trial cost money?

Usually, trial-related checkups, medication, and visits are paid for by the trial sponsor, and many trials also reimburse travel costs. Always check the informed consent form and ask, before signing, "what's free and what isn't?"

Can I quit halfway?

Yes — at any time, for any reason, no explanation needed, and your regular care won't be affected. This is one of a participant's most fundamental rights.

Will AI take my medical records?

A legitimate AI matching tool only uses a de-identified summary of your condition, only after you authorize it — and you can say no. See "Will AI Read My Medical Records?" for the full explanation.
