Welcome to the WeTrials Blog.
Clinical trials come with new words, new steps and big decisions. This blog is here to explain them clearly.
What you will find here
- Guides in plain language about how clinical trials work, such as what happens in a trial, what it may cost and what informed consent means.
- News from WeTrials.
- Insights on clinical research and on how people find trials.
Written for patients and families first
We write for patients, families and caregivers. We use short sentences and everyday words, and we explain medical terms when we use them. Each guide lists the sources it is based on, so you can read more.
Our guides describe how trials work. They do not tell you whether to join one. That decision is yours to make with your care team.
In six languages
You can read the blog in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. To switch, use the language menu at the top of the page.
Looking for a trial?
If you want to look for a clinical trial, use the “Find a trial” button at the top of any page. It takes you to WeTrials, where you can look for a trial.
