Expert Video - How will my safety and privacy be protected if I join a clinical trial?
Hematologist and oncologist Dr. Amy DeZern discusses how your safety and privacy will be protected if you join an MDS clinical trial. She says that your safety, privacy, and attention to your care will remain the utmost priority to all clinical trialists and physicians, should you consider or choose to participate in an MDS clinical trial. To help you feel as safe as possible, you will have access to the treatment team and clinical trial team when you are receiving a new intervention. Through the informed consent process and HIPAA, your privacy – including your medical and social safety – is protected by law and is taken very seriously by clinical investigators throughout the world.
