| Q. | |
| A. | If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, 1) Communicate with your doctor. Because small groups and select doctors are involved with trials, don’t expect your doctor to have specific details on each study. But asking questions about your glaucoma and your involvement with a study should be top on your list. 2) Be sure you understand that expressing trial interest does not guarantee involvement nor does it guarantee that you will be included in the treatment group. 3) Try these resources: the FDA[www.fda.gov, link or Main FDA number: 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332) Drug Information Number: 301-827-4570 (8:00 am - 4:30 pm Eastern Time)], the National Eye Institute [http://www.nei.nih.gov/neitrials/study-area.aspx#3 or 301 496-5248], Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America [www.phrma.org or 202-835-3400] and CenterWatch [www.centerwatch.com or 617-856-5900]. |
