Of course the main reason to participate in a clinical trial is the opportunity it gives you to participate in research that could help millions of people in the future. However, studies also provide a number of other benefits to participants. Most studies provide participants with a physical exam, lab results, diabetic education, dietary counseling, study medication, and access to diabetes health-care personnel. Some studies provide test strips and glucometers that participants can keep even after the study is finished. These benefits are provided at no cost to you .
Compensation is made periodically during the study.
Current studies We currently have 11 research studies. Some clinical trials involve medications already approved by the FDA , and some them involve investigational medications . Investigational medications have gone through some testing but have not received final FDA approval. We are almost always recruiting participants for studies. A short description of the studies we are currently recruiting for follows.
