Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study in people that tests whether a new drug, device or treatment is safe and effective. Treatments are studied in clinical trials before they can be approved for general use. Learn more about clinical trials.
Who can take part in a study?
Each study has its own requirements, such as age, health history or a specific condition. A coordinator checks whether you may qualify during a free pre-screening. All of our studies require in-person visits, so volunteers should live near our site in Lake Worth, FL. See studies enrolling now.
Does pre-screening cost anything?
No. Pre-screening is always free, and there's no obligation to continue.
What is informed consent?
Before you join, the study team explains the methods, procedures, risks and benefits of taking part, and answers your questions. You decide freely and without pressure, and you can withdraw from a study at any time. Read more about informed consent.
Will I be paid for taking part?
Some studies offer compensation for time and travel. Whether a study does, and how much, differs by study and is explained to you before you agree to take part.
Could I receive a placebo?
Some studies compare a treatment to a placebo. You will be told during informed consent whether the study uses one. What a placebo is, and what it means for you.
