Common Questions

The Basics

Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether new medical approaches — medications, devices, procedures, or behavioral strategies — are safe and effective in people. They are the most reliable way to evaluate whether a new treatment works.

  • Testing new medications or combinations of existing ones
  • Evaluating new medical devices or surgical procedures
  • Studying new ways to prevent, detect, or manage disease
  • Improving quality of life for people with chronic illnesses

 

All studies at Solace Clinical Research are FDA-approved and supervised by licensed physicians.

People join clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Some want to contribute to medical advances that benefit others. Some are managing a health condition and want access to cutting-edge treatments. Others participate as healthy volunteers. No matter the reason, every participant plays a meaningful role in shaping the future of medicine.
Study durations vary. Most of our studies run between 6 and 12 months, with scheduled visits that are designed around your availability. Some shorter studies may require only a few visits. Your study coordinator will walk you through the exact timeline before you commit to anything.

Before joining any study, you’ll go through an informed consent process. A coordinator — along with the physician overseeing the study — will explain everything: the purpose of the trial, known risks and benefits, what procedures are involved, how long it lasts, and your rights as a participant. A translator can be provided if English is not your first language. Signing the consent form does not lock you in — you can withdraw at any time.

Eligibility

Clinical trials are open to a wide range of people — healthy volunteers, people managing specific conditions, adults, and in some cases minors. Each study has its own eligibility criteria based on the research objectives. The best way to find out if you qualify is to fill out our short form or call us directly — one of our coordinators will be happy to help.

No. No health insurance, Social Security Number, or citizenship documentation is required to participate. Eligibility is determined by the medical criteria of each specific study — not by your documentation or immigration status.

If you don’t qualify for a current study, we’ll keep your information on file and reach out when a matching trial becomes available. You’ll also be compensated for any screening visit you attend, regardless of the outcome.

Compensation

Yes. All participants are compensated for their time and travel at each completed study visit. Compensation amounts vary per study and per visit type, and everything will be clearly outlined in your Informed Consent Form before you begin. You can also contact our staff at any time with questions about payments.

Yes! If you refer a friend or family member who successfully enrolls in a study, you’ll receive $100 per referral. There’s no limit to how many people you can refer.
 

Safety & Your Rights

Yes, always. Participation is voluntary at every stage. You may withdraw from a study at any time, for any reason, with no consequences whatsoever. We’ll simply confirm your decision and provide any necessary follow-up care.
An IRB is an independent committee that reviews and approves every clinical trial before it begins — and continues to monitor it throughout. Its purpose is to protect the rights, safety, and wellbeing of all participants. Every study at Solace Clinical Research is IRB-approved.
Yes. All personal and medical information you share with us is kept strictly confidential and handled in compliance with applicable privacy laws. Your data is never shared with third parties outside of the research team. Your privacy is a non-negotiable part of how we operate.
