Protocol Screening

Protocol Screening is the process by which patients are evaluated for research study participation. Patients are selected for research studies based on specific study criteria, and undergo a comprehensive medical examination prior to study enrollment.

To provide the best care for the patient, both the requirements of the protocol and the needs of the patient are reviewed during protocol screening. Should a potential patient not be eligible for a research study, follow-up medical care options will be reviewed with the patient, and if needed, assistance will be given in obtaining primary medical care.

The Protocol Screening process involves:

	A thorough medical evaluation by a registered nurse and physician
	A comprehensive review of your medical records
	An evaluation of your current medical care needs and issues, and the research studies that are available at the ACRU
	Periodic follow-up if you are not eligible for a study at the time of your evaluation
	Case management services

A number of trials are currently recruiting new patients. For a list, please see our Clinical Trials page.
