The Clinical Trials Guru

Today Don and Dan discuss a controversial topic in clinical trials-money, or more specifically, paying study participants for their clinical trial participation. It is fairly common for clinical trial participants to receive compensation for their time and travel. However, in phase 1 healthy volunteer studies, the ONLY reason people even participate in those studies is the large amount of compensation they receive. Some of the later phase studies provide different reasons for trial participation outside of money. Watch our conversation and give us your two cents!
