Joining a Hepatitis Clinical Trial
« on: June 24, 2015, 11:41:37 am »
An excerpt from one of our most popular lessons.

“Some people living with viral hepatitis enter clinical trials to gain access to a doctor or clinic because they may not have any other options for receiving care. Some trials provide the equivalent of free care and medication, but others require that certain tests be covered and that approved meds be provided by the participant. Although enrolling in a study may be a useful part of your treatment, it is important to know that the main purpose of the trial is to test the treatment-not to provide the best possible medical care. Therefore, study participation is not a good substitute for regular doctor visits.”
