Questions you may want to ask before joining a clinical trial

Why am I eligible for this trial? What is the goal of this study? What treatments will I receive? What are the possible benefits and risks? How many extra appointments or tests will I need?

What side effects should I expect? What happens if I decide to leave the study? Will I still receive standard treatment if I do not join? Who do I contact if I have questions or side effects? Will there be any costs for me?
