lol. Look, I agree that it's fucked up. I still think it's important not to conflate treatment and research experiments. But, sure, point taken.

It will depend on who is sponsoring the trial. Pharmaceutical company sponsored trials are not impacted. There should be contact info in the consent form they signed. They can call their PI or a coordinator to find out more.
