Clinical Trials and Research

Share

Many transplant centers participate in transplant-related research. Your transplant center might ask you or the patient to participate by:

  • Completing surveys.
  • Taking new medication.
  • Trying new products.

You can decide if you want to participate in research studies, or clinical trials. You never have to participate if you do not want to. 

If you or the patient are interested in research studies, ask your transplant team for more information.

  • Is the transplant center involved in clinical trials? 
  • Can patients join the clinical trials? 
    • What are the patient requirements (age, medical condition, type of transplant, etc.) to join? 
    • What are the benefits and risks of joining (or not joining) clinical trials?
  • Are there other research studies open to patients (not only clinical trials)?  
    • What are the patient requirements to join a study? 
    • What are the benefits and risks of joining (or not joining) studies?
