Participants are our first priority and TReO supports participants by taking science from the lab to the clinic setting where we are able to offer the best care to our community with providers who are on top of the most recent innovations in health care.
TReO is invested in the community they serve and considers community needs when choosing and conducting clinical research.
- What is clinical research? Clinical research involves studying human subjects with the goal to improve human health. It can involve treatments like drugs or devices.
- What does it mean to volunteer? Volunteering for a clinical study is a personal choice. Patients have no obligation to volunteer and participation is not right for everyone. After enrolling in a study you may leave the study at any time. It is important you make an informed decision on your choice to volunteer.
- What is informed consent? Before participating in an study you will be given time to review and discuss an informed consent document. This form provides all of the facts about the study so you can decide if the study is right for you. By signing the consent form you are agreeing to participate in the study, it is not a contract however, and you can choose to leave the study at anytime.
