Looking for a clinical trial? Answer a few short questions and we’ll match you with relevant trials. Once we identify a suitable trial, we’ll contact the trial with your information and consent and reach out to you.
Frequently asked questions
+ Will I be compensated for participating in a clinical trial?
Some trials reimburse travel costs, time, or inconvenience; others offer no payment at all. Any compensation will be clearly explained in the patient information sheet before you decide whether to take part.
+ What if I’m rejected from a clinical trial I’m interested in?
Trials have strict safety and eligibility rules. If you’re not eligible for one study, we can continue to look for alternatives that may be a closer match to your condition and medical history.
+ What if I receive a placebo?
A placebo is a medication without any therapeutic effect that's used to compare against a study drug. Not all trials use placebos – for example, cancer trials rarely use them. Some trials measure a study drug against the standard of care for that condition, or against another treatment. Depending on the trial, you may be able to stay on your current medication, too.
+ Will I be able to stay on the study drug after the trial is complete?
This depends on the specific study. Some trials offer an extension phase or continued access programme; others do not. The research team will explain what happens at the end of the trial before you decide whether to take part.
+ Can I quit a clinical trial once it starts?
Yes. Taking part in research is always voluntary. You can withdraw at any time, for any reason, without affecting the usual care you receive from your own healthcare team.
+ How much time does it take to participate in a clinical trial?
Time commitments vary by study. Some require only a few visits over several months; others involve more frequent appointments, questionnaires, or tests. The study team will outline the schedule so you can decide whether it fits with your life.
