Clinical Trials Contact Form
All clinical studies have guidelines regarding who can participate. Requirements are based on factors such as age, medical history, medications being taken and ability to attend all visits. Before you join a clinical study, you must qualify for the study by meeting these requirements, called inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are defined in the study protocol and informed consent process. It is important to note that these criteria are not meant to reject people personally but are used to identify appropriate participants and ensure safety. The criteria also help ensure researchers can understand the data gathered in the study and answer questions about the drug or medical condition.
