Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any costs?
ALL COSTS associated with the treatment are provided free of charge. Specialized testing, done specifically for the clinical trial, blood test, EKGs, are paid for by the sponsors of the trial.
Who sponsors our trials?
We work with a range of partners from large pharmaceutical companies to small biotech start-ups.
What are the challenges of being in a trial?
Studies have certain eligibility criteria that not everyone will meet. We will work with you to find an appropriate trial and if not provide short-term treatment and support through our clinic.
What are the time commitments?
Each study is a little different. The longest visits are usually the "screening" visits which can take up to 4 hours. Follow-up visits are shorter and range from weekly to every few weeks.
Are clinical trials safe?
As with all medications, there are potential side effects. The trials we participate in have been tested over many years and our focus is on how helpful the medications are.
