If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, the information you provide when registering online or over the telephone can then be expanded upon to determine your suitability and to ensure we can give you the best possible care available. CMB Clinical Trials uses the information gathered to respond to your inquiry, inform you about upcoming clinical trials that may be suitable or of interest to you, arrange appointments to attend our clinic, assess trends in therapy areas around the demographic areas of our clinical research sites.

 

Also, the information can be used to periodically send promotional communications about upcoming clinical trials or other health-related information. With your permission, CMB Clinical Trials may also contact you to participate in patient insight surveys to help us improve our services, and we may also use the information to customize our promotional materials and websites according to people’s interests.
