Am I obliged to participate in a clinical trial?

No, participation in a clinical trial is always a free choice. In addition to the study, we will always discuss with you what our treatment would be if you do not participate in a study. If you choose not to participate in a study, this will not affect your relationship with the medical team or your further treatment.

Be sure to take your time to think about the possible participation in a clinical study. Our doctors and study coordinators are ready to answer all your questions. Therefore, never hesitate to ask them. When discussing a clinical trial, you will always receive an information brochure with the necessary contact details.

If you choose to participate, you may also stop your participation at any time. Taking part in a clinical trial sometimes means that you will have to come to hospital more often. The doctor may also perform extra examinations or take blood samples a little more often, for example. This requires an extra effort from you. Think about this carefully in advance.
