Why Participate

At Consano Clinical Research, we believe meticulously planned and precisely executed clinical trials provide the solid foundation upon which all medical advancements are built. Active participation by well-informed trial participants is crucial in making those advancements a reality.

When you participate in a clinical trial, you are helping researchers find new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. These advancements in medical science can help others in the future.

Clinical trials can determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe. They can also aid in improving the quality of life for people with chronic health conditions.

Potential Effects

Unpleasant, serious, or even life-threatening side effects to experimental treatment:

  • Greater Commitment of Time and Attention Than Standard Treatment Would Require
  • Every Person is Different, and There is No Way to Predict How a Treatment Will Affect Any One Individual. However, Painstaking Efforts Are Made to Determine and Mitigate Risks Ahead of Time.
  • Risks That Can Be Reasonably Foreseen Are Thoroughly Detailed in the Informed Consent That All Participants Must Sign Before Being Enrolled in Any Given Study
  • Involvement in a Clinical Trial is an Individual Decision That Must Be Weighed Carefully by the Person Considering Participation.
