Clinical Trials

Who Is Eligible To Participate In A Clinical Trial?

Each study has its own guidelines for who can participate, called eligibility criteria. Generally, participants in a study are alike in key ways, such as the type and stage of cancer, age, gender, or previous treatments. The eligibility criteria are included in the study plan. To find out if you are eligible for a particular study, talk to your doctor or the doctor or nurse in charge of enrolling patients in the study.
