Yes, you can leave a clinical trial at any time, even after giving your consent or starting the study. Participation is completely voluntary.
You might choose to leave a trial if:
- You experience side effects
- Your condition changes
- You feel uncomfortable continuing
- You simply change your mind
Leaving the trial will not affect your regular medical care or your relationship with your doctor. It’s important to tell the research team if you decide to withdraw, so they can stop study procedures and update your medical records.
