FAQs

Why do you need human contributors to volunteer for clinical trials?

Volunteers are essential in clinical trials because they help researchers understand how a treatment works in the human body. While laboratory studies and animal testing provide important initial insights, they cannot fully replicate human responses to a treatment. By volunteering for a clinical trial, participants contribute to the development of safe and effective treatments that could benefit others.

Will I be paid for participating in a clinical trial?

Yes, healthy volunteers are paid for participating in a clinical trial. In studies where indicated, screening visits are also reimbursed.

The payment, approved by the Ethics Committee, is intended to cover time, travel, and parking expenses, but it’s not meant to replace lost earnings or any other financial losses due to participation.

If you are unable to complete the trial, you’ll receive partial payment based on the number of visits you’ve attended.

Please note that no tax deductions will be made, and participants are responsible for reporting all payments on their tax return.

Can I attend work or university while part of a trial?

During the in-house stay for a trial, participants cannot leave the clinic to attend work or university. However, you are encouraged to bring any work you may need to complete to the clinic with you, as we can accommodate personal belongings such as laptops and books, as well as offering free Wi-Fi. If you have work or study commitments that require attending an office or campus in-person, we often have shorter-stay trials, and may also have trials which do not involve an in-house stay and consist only of appointments.

Volunteer, participant or contributor — what’s the difference?

In the context of clinical trials, the terms “volunteer,” “participant,” and “contributor” all refer to individuals who play an essential role in advancing medical research. Each person helps to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new treatments, enabling researchers to develop therapies that may improve or save lives. Whether called a volunteer, participant, or contributor, those involved are key to providing hope and new options for patients by helping to bring safe, effective treatments to the world.

What are the risks associated with a clinical trial; are they safe?

All new treatments undergo extensive testing before being tested in clinical trials, and every trial is approved by an independent, government-registered ethics committee to ensure its safety. While every effort is made to eliminate risks, there may still be potential risks involved in participating in a clinical trial. Side effects can vary from person to person, and some risks may not be fully anticipated until the trial progresses.

Prior to participation, all volunteers undergo a comprehensive medical screening to ensure they meet the specific requirements and are eligible for the trial. This includes a thorough assessment of your health and medical history to minimise potential risks.

During the trial, participants are closely monitored by a team of clinical and medical professionals, and the principal study doctor is always available for assistance. While the highest standard of care is provided, it is important to understand that, as with any medical treatment, we cannot predict with 100% certainty how a treatment will affect each individual.
