Yes. You can change the location by clicking on the location box and entering a new location.

This means that a trial may be a good fit for you. This is based on the Lilly Trial Connect questionnaire you completed for a particular medical condition.

Each time you click ‘Take the Next Step’ you are one step closer to finding a clinical trial that may be a good fit for you or connecting with a clinical trial site. Each journey may be slightly different, and this depends on the clinical trial and site you choose. This is because clinical trial sites choose how they would like to get referrals. Sites can choose to:

• have potential participants contact them using provided site information.
• receive completed questionnaires and potential participant contact details. This allows the site to reach out to potential participants when the site is ready to accept new participants.

If you signed up with the wrong email address, you will need to sign up again using the correct email address to get Lilly Trial Alerts.

If the ‘wrong’ email address is linked to a real email account, an email will be sent to that address asking the account holder to verify they would like to receive email alerts. If they complete the verification step, they will begin to receive alerts for the conditions you selected.

They will not have access to any of your personal details. If they do not verify their email, they will not get any alerts.

Please check your spam or junk email folder. If the email is not in your inbox or spam/junk, please fill in the form again and double check that your email address is correct before you submit.

Lilly Trial Connect Questionnaires include questions that are linked to clinical trial criteria. The questionnaires often include questions about treatment, medications, and your overall health. Changes in these can mean you may qualify for different clinical trials. Up-to-date questionnaire responses help ensure you get alerts about clinical trials that may be the best fit for you.

This is based on individual clinical trial site preferences. Clinical trial sites choose how they would like to get referrals. Sites can choose to:

• have potential participants contact them using provided site information.
• receive completed questionnaires and potential participant contact details. This allows the site to reach out to potential participants when the site is ready to accept new participants.

There are many reasons for this. Some reasons include:

• Clinical trial sites and staff can be very busy and want to be contacted by people who are likely to qualify for the study. This allows clinical trial staff to focus their time and attention on participants and those who are likely to qualify.
• Lilly wants to show site details for clinical trials someone is most likely to qualify for. This can help avoid wasting time or being disappointed by contacting sites running clinical trials you are unlikely to qualify for.

You can find this by clicking on the ‘Unsubscribe or Modify Your Subscription’ link at the end of any Lilly Trial Alert email you have received.

Yes. Before a clinical trial can be approved to begin, Protections must be built into the clinical trial process to safeguard the wellbeing of participants. Below are just some of the different people and activities associated with clinical trials that are designed to keep participants safe.

The Healthcare Team
One of the responsibilities of the healthcare team who run clinical trials is to care for participants. They are trained to look after your safety and health. They may do this by talking with your personal healthcare team about your needs and treatment, or by talking to you about whether you want to continue in the trial.

Regulation and Ethics
Everyone conducting a clinical trial has strict regulatory and ethical duties. Teams of people, called an Ethics Review Board (ERB) or Institutional Review Board (IRB), operate independently from the day-to-day conduct of research. An ERB or IRB reviews every clinical trial before people can take part. This is to ensure that the correct steps are taken to protect participants' welfare and rights. An ERB or IRB protect participants by:

• making sure that clinical trial risks are as low as possible for participants.
• ensuring the potential benefits of the clinical trial outweigh the risks.
• making sure that a clinical trial meets overall safety requirements for participants. Each clinical trial has different risks and benefits. And as each clinical trial participant is different, they will experience these risks and benefits in different ways. For example, one person may experience a side effect from the study medicine, but another person might not.

Informed Consent
Clinical trials are experiments, so the exact risks and benefits can be difficult to predict. Researchers only move forward with clinical trials when they are optimistic about the potential benefits and believe any risks for participants are acceptable. Researchers discuss the potential risks and benefits of a clinical trial with participants before the participant might agree to take part. This talk takes place during the informed consent process. This process helps participants understand what is involved in the study so that the participant can make an informed decision on whether to join.

You can find basic information about clinical trials and find out about what to expect when participating in a clinical trial on the Lilly Trials Clinical Trial Information page.
