Getting started4 questions
What is a clinical trial?

A research study that tests whether an investigational medicine or approach is safe and works. Every trial follows a written plan, and volunteers are watched closely by a medical team the whole time.

How do I find out if I qualify?

Pick a study and contact us. Only the study team can confirm eligibility, and they'll walk you through it on the phone.

Where do study visits happen?

At one of our six InvivoCure sites. The study team confirms which location works for your study.

Can I leave a study once I join?

Yes. Taking part is voluntary, and you can leave at any time.

Safety, cost & care4 questions
Who keeps volunteers safe?

An independent ethics board (an IRB) reviews and approves every study before it starts and keeps watching it while it runs. You’ll get a consent form that explains the risks and possible benefits before you agree to anything.

Does it cost anything? Will insurance be billed?

Answer pending from the study team.

Will I be paid for my time?

Answer pending from the study team.

Could I get a placebo?
