Have you ever wondered what happens before a new drug reaches the market? Every medication and therapy must go through clinical trials, where patients like you play a crucial role. However, before deciding to participate in such a study, you must receive full information about what it entails. This is where informed consent comes in!

💡 What is informed consent?
Informed consent is a document that contains all the essential details about a clinical trial. It is presented to patients in a clear and understandable way, so you can make a decision fully informed and without any pressure.

What’s included in the informed consent document?
✅ The purpose of the study – why it is being conducted and its objectives.
✅ What participation involves – what procedures will be performed, how long the study will last, and how often you will need to visit the research center.
✅ Possible benefits and risks – for example, access to cutting-edge treatment but also potential side effects.
✅ Your rights – you can ask questions, consult your doctor, and most importantly, withdraw from the study at any time, without any consequences.

💡 Why is this important?
Signing the informed consent form does not mean you are obligated to participate in the study – it is not a contract! It simply confirms that you have received and understood the information about the study.

You have the right to full details about every procedure you will undergo.
You have the right to data protection and confidentiality.
You have the right to withdraw at any time, without any consequences.
