Trials 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.
