What to know before taking part.
Each study details these answers in its consent form, which you review before agreeing to anything.
What is a clinical study?
Research that evaluates a treatment by following a written protocol. Each protocol is reviewed and approved by an independent ethics committee (IRB) before the first person enrolls, and the team follows it visit by visit.
Does it cost anything to take part?
Study visits and procedures are provided at no cost to you, and you don't need health insurance to take part. What each study covers, including the investigational drug, is written in its consent form, which you review before agreeing to anything.
Who oversees my safety?
A licensed physician serves as principal investigator and is responsible for your care throughout the study. An independent IRB reviews the protocol before it begins and continues to oversee it, and every visit is documented under the principal investigator's supervision.
Will I be paid?
Studies that offer compensation pay for your time and travel, not for taking a medication. The exact amount and when it's paid are written in that study's consent form, which you review before agreeing to anything.
Can I withdraw once I've started?
Yes, at any time and for any reason. Participation is voluntary from the first visit to the last; withdrawing doesn't affect your regular medical care and you don't have to explain your decision.
What happens to my personal information?
Your records are kept confidential under Florida law and the study's consent form. Data shared with the sponsor is coded, and your name never appears in any published result.
