Frequently Asked Questions

How much do diabetes clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range. Further, most trials will cover the costs of an Uber to-and-from the clinic. Factors that can affect compensation include the phase of the trial, the length of the trial, the frequency of visits, and the specific condition being studied.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on Cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

How do diabetes clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll typical be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and will receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across diabetes trials in Orlando, 42% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or two. The average trial length in this city for diabetes patients is 6 Months.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in getting approval for a specific condition. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where effectiveness has typically only been shown in animals and non-human experiments. Phase 1 trials are the trials where we don't have safety data in humans. As a general rule, phase 3 trials are more promising than phase 2, and phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Where in Orlando is research being conducted for diabetes?

Prominent hospitals in Orlando conducting diabetes clinical trials include AdventHealth Orlando and Nemours Children's Hospital. Trials are concentrated in the central and southern areas of the city, with approximately 20 ongoing as of 2024.

What promising new drugs are being tested?
