Choosing to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. This site provides a list of frequently asked questions with some basic information about clinical trials. We recommend that you talk to your physician, your family or friends about deciding to join a trial. After identifying some trial options with your doctor, the next step is to contact our research staff to enroll or ask questions about specific trials you may be eligible for. We can be reached at research@rrmginc.com or please call our Research Department at 707-521-3830.
