Clinical Trial Opportunities
Clinical trials are an excellent way to obtain access to medications that are not yet available to the general public and only available in a tightly controlled FDA regulated environment.
Additionally, unknown to many patients, are clinical trials that are designed around medications that have already been FDA approved but are now either looking for approval for additional indications or confirmation of superiority over other commercially available pharmacotherapeutic agents.
Additionally, our clinical trials have benefits such as:
- No cost office visits - No co-pays, No deductibles.
- No charge for trial medications, diagnostic tests or lab tests that are part of the trial design.
- Lastly, patients often have an overall sense of improved well-being since they are contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge while at the same being compensated for their time for each office visit they attend.
