Once you have been matched to a clinical trial on the DecenTrialz platform, you may choose whether to proceed with expressing interest in participation. If you opt in, DecenTrialz initiates a secure, consent-based referral to the clinical research site responsible for conducting the study.

This section outlines the steps that follow a trial match and what you can expect throughout the referral process.

Step-by-Step: What Happens After a Trial Match

1. Review of trial details

After a potential match is identified, the platform will present you with an overview of the clinical trial, including:

• A brief summary of the study’s objectives
• The medical condition or research focus
• Location of the study site or indication of remote participation
• Key eligibility criteria
• Type of intervention or participation involved

You are encouraged to review this information carefully before making a decision.

2. Voluntary referral opt-in

If you are interested in proceeding, you may choose to be referred to the research site. Referral is entirely voluntary and will not occur without your explicit consent.

At this stage, you may be asked to:

• Confirm your contact information
• Acknowledge a consent notification or confirmation message regarding the referral

3. Secure referral to the research site

Upon opt-in, DecenTrialz will securely transmit your basic pre-screener responses and contact details to the research team associated with the selected trial. This allows the site to:

• Follow up with you to conduct further eligibility screening
• Request additional information relevant to the study
• Schedule a consultation or screening appointment

Contact may occur via phone or email, based on the preferences you previously indicated.

4. Research site screening process

Once referred, the clinical research site will conduct its own evaluation to determine final eligibility. This may include:

• Detailed review of your medical history and current health status
• Laboratory tests, diagnostic procedures, or questionnaires (as required by the protocol)
• Explanation of informed consent, including study risks, procedures, and your rights as a participant

This process is conducted entirely by the research site and is independent of DecenTrialz.

Important clarifications

• DecenTrialz is not a clinical trial site. We do not conduct research studies or determine final eligibility.
• You are never obligated to continue. You may decline participation at any time before or after the referral.
• Support is available. You may contact both the DecenTrialz support team and the research site staff with any questions during this stage.

Key Note: Being matched and referred to a study does not guarantee enrollment or eligibility. The final determination is made solely by the clinical research team after completing their own review. DecenTrialz acts only as a facilitator, enabling a secure and participant-controlled connection between you and the trial site.
