Note: DecenTrialz’s role is to help you find and pre-screen for trials. All activities during the trial are managed directly by the official research site.

Once a person joins a clinical trial, they follow a schedule of visits and activities that are described in the protocol. This may include:

  • Getting the study treatment or placebo
  • Undergoing lab tests, checkups, or scans
  • Reporting any side effects or changes in health
  • Using apps or devices to track symptoms or progress

Key Note: The research team closely monitors participants for safety. People can leave the trial at any time, for any reason. All information shared during the trial is kept private and secure under laws like HIPAA.
