* Enrollment Tip – ?It often takes a few weeks to complete the enrollment and screening process for an expanded access trial. You may be able to speed up this process by supplying the clinical trial nurse with your own medical records, which may relieve him/her from trying to obtain them from another clinic. Factor all of this into your decisions. As always, discuss with your physician(s).
