Will I be paid for participating in a clinical trial?

In most instances, healthy volunteer participants in a clinical trial are eligible for remuneration that cover their time, travel expenses and parking; however, the payment, which has to be approved by the Ethics Committee, is not intended to cover loss of earnings or any other financial loss resulting from participating in clinical research. Travel and parking expenses are factored into this payment and will not be separately reimbursed.

There is no cost for joining a clinical trial – all study-related medications, tests and procedures are provided at no charge to participants.

If, for any reason, you’re unable to complete the clinical trial, you’ll receive a partial payment based on the number of visits you have made to our unit.

How do you figure out the payment amounts?

In most instances, participants in a clinical trial are eligible for remuneration for their time/inconvenience, travel and parking expenses – all of which are factored into this payment and will not be separately reimbursed. This payment amount is approved by an independent ethics committee. This payment is unique for each trial and clearly communicated to all applicants during the recruitment process.

How does the payment process work?

The payment process varies depending on the trial. In most cases, payment is made approximately one week after completing your final follow-up appointment.

For studies with longer follow-up periods, payments are made in installments as you reach key milestone appointments.
