If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, you can ask your treating health professional about options available for you.
If you see a clinical trial on our website that you are interested in, you can speak to your health professional or contact us directly on (03) 5563 1407.
If there is a trial that is suitable for you, the trial will be discussed and explained with you.
You will be able to ask any questions and request any information.
A Patient Informed Consent Form (PICF) may also be given to you, and you will be given enough time to read and talk about it with any family, friends or your doctor before deciding to participate.
You may also be contacted by a Clinical Trials team member to talk about the trial and answer any questions you may have.
Taking part in a Clinical Trial is completely voluntary, and at any time during the running of the trial you can decide to stop taking part if you want to. You will still be treated for your condition as you normally would.
A list of clinical trials conducted by the SWH CTU Team can be found on the clinical trials page.
