For Patients
Help Improve the Lives of Others
Study participation is the first step to bringing helpful new treatments to market.
What is clinical research?
Clinical research involves people from all backgrounds participating in trials to test the effectiveness of a new drug or combination of drugs, a new prevention strategy, or new ways to use existing treatments.
Clinical research allows doctors from various disciplines to evaluate new treatments, how best to apply recent developments in medicine, and ensure that patients can receive the best care options available. Some people with an illness or disease participate because they may receive the newest treatment before it’s widely available.
All participants may receive additional care and attention from the clinical research staff, study tests at no cost, and reimbursement for their time and travel. No insurance is required.
