Not qualifying for a clinical trial can feel disappointing, but it is more common than you might think. There are many reasons why someone might not be eligible, and they usually have nothing to do with your health or worthiness as a participant.

Common reasons you might not qualify

  • You don’t meet specific inclusion criteria (such as age range, test results)
  • You have a medical history that could interfere with the study
  • You are taking a medication that could interact with the study drug
  • The trial has already met its recruitment target

What happens next?

  • Your data stays securely stored in your DecenTrialz profile.
  • You can be considered for other trials in the future.
  • You can update your information at any time to improve your chances of matching with other studies.

Key Note: Being ineligible for one trial does not prevent you from participating in others. Many users match with future studies over time.
