Our clinical trials evaluate the safety
and effectiveness of drugs that are being considered for approval
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or are already FDA-approved
but being considered for new applications. We continually enroll
subjects for participation in this research which is conducted at
our state-of-the-art facility in Newton, Massachusetts.
Why participate in a clinical trial?
You may wish to participate in a clinical trial
for one or more reasons:
- To help researchers make discoveries that may help you or others
- To learn more about your condition
- To try an investigational medication if a condition you have is
not responding to conventional treatment
- To receive a physical examination and laboratory testing at no cost
To reduce the burden of participating in a trial,you will be compensated
for your travel and time.
