Participating in a Clinical Trial

As part of our mission to advance new breakthroughs that will benefit patients, Washington University physicians oversee many clinical trials. By participating in such studies, volunteers may help researchers learn more about healthy development or the onset of a disease state, or evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new treatments, tools and prevention methods.

Healthy individuals and those with medical conditions are needed to participate in studies. In addition to helping further medical research, volunteers may have access to new treatments that are under review.
