Is there a charge to participate in clinical trials?
Once it is determined that a patient appears to meet the criteria for a specific study and the Informed Consent is signed, there are no costs associated with the research study. Whether or not a patient appears to meet the requirements of the study can often be ascertained through a review of previous medical records. If the patient has not had an evaluation of the memory disorder, or the records are incomplete, an evaluation can be obtained by the clinical services team at Suncoast Gerontology Center.
