Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of participating in a research study?
 
 

Patients in research studies receive study-medication, tests and exams at no charge throughout the course of the study. Studies can last for weeks, months or even years, during which time patients can save the enormous cost associated with paying for medications and office visits. Study coordinators and physicians closely monitor the study patients, and perform physical exams, laboratory tests and other medical procedures to collect information on the patient. Often, these procedures are described as an extension of what is traditionally conducted to manage the patient’s health and medical condition.
