Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are recruiting 385 people—including patients, families, doctors, and scientists—to share their thoughts about ethical questions that come up when testing new treatments for rare brain and nerve diseases. The study wants to understand what different groups of people think is fair and right when designing these small, personalized treatment trials.
WHY IT MATTERSThis study directly shapes how future rare neurological disease trials will be designed and conducted, meaning your input as a patient or caregiver could influence the ethical standards that protect you in future treatment studies.
