Volunteers in a clinical trial participate in the development of medical therapies that may offer better treatments and even cures for life-threatening and chronic diseases.  There are both benefits and risks in participating in a clinical trial.  Speak with your physician or the clinical research center's physicians to see if a trial is appropriate for you.
