Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical trials are research studies conducted to find out if new medical treatments, drugs, or devices are safe and effective for people to use. They are a critical step in bringing new healthcare options to the public.


No. All study-related medical exams, laboratory tests, and investigational medications are provided at no cost to you. You do not need health insurance to participate in a clinical trial at our site.


Yes, most clinical trials offer reimbursement for time and travel expenses related to study visits. The specific amount is determined by the study protocol and is approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure it is fair.


Absolutely. We encourage you to maintain your relationship with your regular physician. Our team can work with your doctor to ensure that your participation in a study is a safe and beneficial addition to your current health plan.


Your safety is our top priority. Every study is monitored by an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB) and follows strict FDA guidelines. Our medical team also provides frequent health check-ups and monitoring throughout your participation.


Informed Consent is a process where our staff explains every detail of the study—including the goals, potential risks, and your responsibilities—before you agree to join. You will receive a written document to review and can ask as many questions as you like.


Yes, participation is 100% voluntary. You have the right to leave a clinical trial at any time and for any reason without any penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.


A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational drug but has no treatment value. In many trials, some participants receive the treatment while others receive a placebo so researchers can compare the results fairly.


Each study has specific "inclusion and exclusion criteria," such as age, medical history, or current medications. Our team will perform a free screening to determine if you are a safe candidate for a specific study.


The duration varies depending on the study. Some may require only a few visits over a few weeks, while others for chronic conditions like COPD or Heart Failure may last for a year or longer to monitor long-term health outcomes.
