What to expect as a caregiver
Caregivers play an important role in the clinical trial process. If a family member or care recipient is participating in a clinical trial, caregivers may need to support them during their participation.
Support needs can vary. Sometimes, it is about offering emotional support or helping them travel to and from the trial center. In some cases, the caregiver may be asked to actively support the trial, for example by participating in the trial visits. Caregivers’ support is vital and their involvement makes a difference in the trial’s success and their family member’s or care recipient’s well-being.
