Benefits of Participating in Clinical Research

  • Access to new medications — Research participants are often the first to receive promising new medications before they become available to the community.
  • No cost care — Clinical trials are funded by the pharmaceutical industry; therefore, there is no cost to patients for care received at Sharp's Clinical Research Center. Participants receive study-related medical evaluations, lab testing and study medications and may be compensated for time and travel.
  • Quality care — Patients taking part in studies receive quality medical and mental health care from a team of expert doctors, nurses, technicians and support staff.
  • The ability to help others — Participants will have an opportunity to potentially help others and improve treatment for everyone who suffers from the same illness or condition.
