What Happens at the End of a Trial
Some trials can run for many years, so it may be some time before the results of a trial are known. At the end of a trial, the results will be made available to everyone who participated. They will also be published so that others can use the information to help make decisions about their treatment and health care. The researchers have a duty to publish the results, regardless of what they show, and also show how the results add to available knowledge.
If you are having a new treatment as part of a trial, you may not always be able to continue on this treatment when the trial ends. It may be some time before a new treatment is provided. Therefore, you will most likely go back to a previously approved treatment.
