Clinical Trials

Will I definitely be able to participate?

Not necessarily. Most clinical trials have eligibility criteria. These are rules about who can participate, based on health, age, and maybe other things. They are designed to keep you safe and to help you get the best results. If you do not meet these criteria, you will probably not be able to participate. If you do qualify for a trial and decide to participate, you should be willing to follow the guidelines of the study.
