GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT CLINICAL RESEARCH Individual is in the healthcare system
STAGE 1
The top two concerns before a trial begins are identifying who to contact/ medical center’s contact information and what to do in case of an emergency
STAGE 2 CONSIDER CLINICAL TRIAL PARTICIPATIONIndividual considers and decides about specific trial participation
• Evaluation of potential clinical trial options with treating physician and/or site sta�
• Multimedia informed consent
What is the purpose of the trial? What will it measure?Who is overseeing the trial?How does the investigational product being tested work?How will the investigational product be given to me?What is expected of me during the trial?How will participation in this trial impact my daily life?What questions should I ask the clinical trial sta�? (e.g., possibility of placebo, reimbursement of expenses)Will I be able to obtain my lab/test data during the trial?

81%of patients said that knowing the potential risks and benefits of the study is important before considering participation
STAGE 3
52%of patients want overall clinical trial statistics and a visit calendar or reminders
PARTICIPATE IN A CLINICAL TRIALIndividual enters and participates in a trial
• Discussions with site sta�
• Downloadable and hard copy trial guide and visit schedule• Updates on the status and progression of the overall trial• Invitation for patient to provide feedback on experience
What should I do if something goes wrong?Whom can I contact for support?When is my next visit and what can I expect? What will the experience look and feel like?Are there opportunities for completing tests remotely or at a local lab?How is the trial progressing?Am I responding to the investigational product?When will my access to the investigational product end?

Examining how best to meet patients’ information needs along the clinical trial continuum – from understanding if a clinical trial is appropriate for an individual to the process of enrolling and, finally, understanding the patient’s response to the trial – can
help to increase overall engagement with clinical research and clinical trial participation. Researchers have an opportunity to consider improved ways of ensuring
key patient questions get answered along this continuum.

Statistics presented in this infographic originate from a global survey of patient and caregiver respondents. From the population surveyed, the majority of respondents had not previously participated in a clinical trial. Such respondents would have answered questions based on how they feel as potential study subjects, without necessarily having specialist knowledge regarding how clinical trials work.
