Once our site is selected by the sponsor, we begin to tell patients about our new protocol to see if they qualify and are interested. Each patient is carefully informed of the risks and benefits of the program. Detailed information is provided that they can review at their leisure either in our office or at home. Questions are strongly encouraged, both from the patient themselves and from family members. No research program is ever a contract. Patients are free to discontinue participation at any time for any reason. The only thing we usually ask is one last visit to make sure that the patient is healthy before ending the program, but even that is optional. If a patient decides that they no longer want to continue, it does not impact their relationship with our physicians.
