There are many ways to contact the clinical trial team. 很多办法,
Contact the trial team directly. The clinical trial summary should include the phone number of a person or an office that you can contact for more information. You do not need to talk to the lead researcher (called the “protocol chair” or “principal investigator”) at this time, even if his or her name is given along with the telephone number. Instead, call the number and ask to speak with the “trial coordinator,” the “referral coordinator,” or the “protocol assistant.” This person can answer questions from patients and their doctors. It is also this person’s job to decide whether you are likely to be eligible to join the trial. (A final decision will probably not be made until you have had a visit with a doctor who is taking part in the trial.)
Ask your doctor or another health care team member to contact the trial team for you. Because the clinical trial coordinator will ask questions about your cancer diagnosis and your current general health, you may want to ask your doctor or someone else on your health care team to contact the clinical trial team for you.
The trial team may contact you. If you have used the Web site of a clinical trial listing service and found a trial that interests you, you may have provided your name, phone number, and e-mail address so the clinical trial team can contact you directly.

简单翻一下
1,直接联系临床试验工作队。PI--首席研究员--是大头,不管事,管事的是“trial coordinator,”--临床试验协调员, the “referral coordinator,” or the “protocol assistant”. 和他们说你的病情,他们就能判断你能否参与。
Whether you or someone from your health care team calls the clinical trial team, this is the time to get answers to questions that will help you decide whether or not to take part in this particular clinical trial.
It will be helpful if you can talk about your cancer and your current general health in a manner that is brief and to the point. Before you make the call, you may want to rehearse how you will present key information about your cancer diagnosis and general health with a family member or a friend. This will make you more comfortable when you are talking with the clinical trial team member, and it will help you answer his or her questions more smoothly.
Remember to keep your Cancer Details Checklist (from Step 3) handy to help you answer some of the questions that may be asked.你要保存你的病情的详细报告。 作者: bjjww 时间: 2011-5-7 13:34
Step 9: Discuss Your Options with Your Doctor
和你的医生讨论,三思而后行,权衡潜在风险和受益,和你的医生讨论参与和不参与的利弊。
自己拿主意。
To make a final decision, you will want to know the potential risks and benefits of all treatment options available to you. Through the research that you have done, you likely have a good idea about the possible risks and benefits of the treatment(s) in clinical trials that interest you. If you have any remaining questions or concerns, you should discuss them with your doctor. You should also ask your doctor about the risks and benefits of standard, or usual, treatment for your type of cancer. Then, you and your doctor can compare the risks and benefits of standard treatment with those of treatment in a clinical trial. You may decide that joining a trial is your best option, or you may decide not to join a trial. It’s your choice.
