  That's payments to the patient for trying the drugs??

    Yes, I participated in one clinical trial as a 'volunteer' and I was paid for it.

    I would imagine that the costs are for: - Paying someone to monitor progress - Insurance against the possibility that the drug seriously harms them - Administration for communicating with them - Advertising of the trial to recruit them - Paying them cash directly for their troubles

      This is more like the list of costs. Missing from this list are the doctors that prescribe and deliver the treatment.
