Who can participate in a clinical trial?

Anybody can consider participating in clinical research.

When you join a clinical trial that’s studying a condition you have, you may help us evaluate a potential treatment for that condition.

There are also clinical trials that need volunteers without a specific disease or condition. As a participant, you might contribute to learnings about a potential vaccine, or about a study medicine before it’s given to people with a condition.

Each clinical trial has its own criteria for who may participate. These are called eligibility criteria.

Examples of eligibility criteria include a person’s:

  • Age and sex
  • Type and/or stage of disease
  • Overall health
  • Personal treatment history

Our Navigators will connect you to the potential research opportunity

You will receive an email with information about the available clinical trial we’ve found. Then a PfizerLink representative, called a Navigator, will call you, or you can call us, to answer questions and talk about next steps.

If you’re interested and the study still seems like a potential match, PfizerLink will connect you to a study doctor in your area. The study doctor’s team will tell you more about the study and take you through the next steps to see if you’re eligible to enroll.

Informed consent 

Informed consent is one of the most important tools to help you understand how your rights, safety, and well-being will be addressed during a study. At your appointment, the study team will review the details of the study with you, including possible risks and benefits, so you will know what to expect.

If you decide to participate, you will be asked to sign an informed consent document that is specific to the study. That will confirm you understand the study and are willing to continue with screening and to take part in the study, if you are eligible.

Screening

You’ll meet with the study doctor and their staff to confirm whether you fit the eligibility criteria and are able to participate. This may include a more detailed review of your medical history and a physical exam. It may also include blood work and additional tests related to your condition.

Participating in the study is always voluntary. The decision to join is personal, and it is yours. You can still take part in PfizerLink even if you choose not to participate in a Pfizer clinical trial.
