What Questions Are Good For Me To Ask When Considering Joining A Clinical Trial?

A myPHteam Member asked a question 💭
Scottsdale, AZ

I have a meeting on Feb 10 with my spouse to discuss the possibility of my joining a clinical trial for a new medication targeting Group 2 PH patients. All I know about the medication is that it is based on one hormone; I don't know which one yet. I am going to be very cautious before making any commitment to do so and plan on going into the meeting armed with questions.

Heather10 you and I are in group 2, so my prayers are for some good results! I fine myself at a total loss of questions, but I am confident that you will ask all necessary? Keep us informed as I know you will!

Heather…..I know you’ll do your homework before getting involved in any study or anything unknown. You are very very wise……so I know you’ll do your homework before joining. Are there any risk involved & will the study affect how you will feel on a daily basis????? Good Luck!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Heather, if the trial is through an NIH grant, the government just halted them.

Down to the basics: is it a double blind trial? With those neither the doctor or you will know if you are getting the drug being tested or the placebo. I was on a trial for a drug for rheumatoid arthritis. It already had been on a double blind trial. I was taking the real pill, which was already on the market. The stage I was on was to verify the percentage of people who had the expected results, and the secondary effects. Since I had no benefits and some secondary effects, I'm in the control group now, not taking the drug.
