A clinical trial is a voluntary study conducted by specialists like our team at Cullman Clinical Trials. We test medications, devices, and other equipment in a safe setting over several different phases. If you volunteer to participate in a clinical trial, you may be part of any phase of the study, from initial testing at Phase I to final testing at Phase IV.

Clinical trials are designed to be carried out in the safest environment possible for researchers and participants alike. Our highly trained staff have the knowledge and expertise to administer any treatments and guide the study process, and we're always on hand to offer support and answer questions. As clinical trials typically involve medications or treatments that are not yet approved by use by the general public, there may be certain risks. All the information you need will be provided when you sign up as a volunteer participant.

There are a few reasons you may wish to be involved in a clinical trial. Firstly, if you have a long-term illness or medical condition, you may want to further the research surrounding improving treatment options and diagnostic processes for that condition. Another reason many people contribute to clinical trials is the pay you receive for involvement. We can also provide potential access to medication, devices, or treatment that would otherwise be unavailable to you or too costly to purchase.

No – you don’t need to give us anything apart from your time to be included in a clinical trial. If you are selected as a participant in a particular study, we will provide you with payment in compensation for your involvement.

You are not required to have health insurance to participate in a clinical trial. Any treatment you receive as part of a study will not be billed to your insurance.

Our studies are entirely voluntary. If you need to drop out for any reason, you can do so – no cost and no questions asked.
