Who pays for the study treatment in a clinical trial?
In most cases, the investigational drug or device used in clinical trials are provided at no cost to the participants. However, there may be other costs associated with the trial which should be discussed prior to enrollment. In some cases blood work, x-rays, and travel expenses are provided at no charge however, there are trials in which the trial related activities are considered “standard of care” and as such are billed to the participant’s insurance provider.
