Participating in Clinical Trials
Informed Consent
Sometimes, a potential participant may not be able to give informed
consent because of memory problems or mental confusion. Someone
else, usually a family member with a durable power of attorney, can
give consent for that participant. That caregiver must be confident
there is small risk to the participant, and the participant would
have agreed to consent if he or she were able to do so.
