The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is holding a public webinar that will speak to the ways in which a strong support network can help mitigate some of the inherent challenges associated with clinical trial participation.
Finding Your Support Team While Participating in a Clinical Trial will feature a panel of patients, care partners, and advocates discussing:
- Experiences with their own support systems as they or a loved one participated in a clinical trial.
- Tips on how to navigate logistical challenges, such as travel, when participating in a clinical trial.
- Where and how to find support from friends and family, health care providers, clinical teams, employers, schools, patient advocacy groups, and other communities.
The activity will be held live virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, October 30th, from 12:00PM–1:15 PM ET. While the webinar is free, registration is required.

The webinar is being hosted by the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Office of Therapeutic Products.
