What is a clinical research study?

A clinical research study is a way for researchers to evaluate new medications, treatments or therapies to learn how safe and effective they are. These studies rely on volunteers to help advance medical knowledge.

Who can participate in a clinical research study?

Each study has specific requirements based on factors like age, health history, lifestyle and other criteria. Our team will ask questions to determine if a study may be a good fit for you.

Is it safe to participate?

Your safety is our top priority. Clinical research studies are carefully reviewed and monitored, and participants are closely followed by trained medical professionals throughout the study.

Can I leave a study if I change my mind?

Yes. Participation is completely voluntary, and you can choose to leave a study at any time.

Will I be paid for participating?

Participants who meet all study eligibility requirements may receive compensation for their time and participation. Compensation amounts vary by study and are based on the specific requirements, duration and procedures involved.

Where will participation take place?

All study-related activities will take place at our clinical research campus in Overland Park, Kansas. Depending on the study requirements, participants may be asked to visit our facility for screening appointments, inpatient stays and scheduled outpatient visits. Our dedicated research team will provide guidance throughout the process, ensuring you understand each visit requirement, schedule and what to expect during your participation.

How do I get started?

If you are interested in participating, the first step is to contact our recruitment team. We will answer your questions and help determine if there is a study that may be right for you.
