You MAY be eligible to receive the latest experimental drugs and treatments for FREE... and possibly even receive additional compensation... by participating in Clinical Trials and Studies
According to Pharmaceutical Research Plus, Inc, "Clinical trials - or research studies- are organized tests of medicines and new treatment options. These studies rely on patient volunteers who try the new or changed treatment. Sometimes they are new 'experimental' medicines that have not been approved by the FDA for sale in the United States. Sometimes they are drugs that are currently available for sale, but are being tested for a new disease or new doses of the same medicine....
In most clinical trials the treatment, office visits, and all tests are free. You may also be given financial compensation for participating in some cases. Your doctor or the study coordinator at your doctor's office should share information regarding the compensation package with you during your first visit."
According to NIAID, "Some clinical trials will pay you for joining the trial, while others will not. In some programs, researchers will reimburse you for expenses associated with participating in the research. Such expenses may include transportation costs, child care, meals, and accommodations."
