On this week's Monday Morning Minute, Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to answer the question "can I participate in clinical trials even if I'm not sick?" They discuss how having "healthy participants" is critical for some clinical trials. They look at a current study that examines how the body processes oral statin medications and if those with kidney disease process medicine in a different way than those with healthy livers.

Koren's Key Takeaways:

• People without disease can be essential to the clinical trial process
• Statins are still effective, even if pharmaceutical marketing has slowed
• Joining a clinical trial as a low-risk "health participant" is a great way to learn about the process

Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.
