Here take this medicine, we are fairly confident it won't kill you. Here is your $100k bill. Oh? Can't afford that? No trial for you!
- zaroth 5y agoTrials are absolutely free for the participants. Insurance won’t pay for non-FDA approved treatments and it’s illegal to charge for them anyway. Ancillary routine FDA approved testing that accompanies the trials may be billed to insurance in some cases? I don’t know about that. But a trial for a novel cancer treatment will be free, if not even include an honorarium of some kind to defray costs to the patient for participating.
