Depending on the clinical trial and appointment type (screening, virtual check-up, procedural appointment, etc.), appointments can range between 0.5 - 2.5 hours. Initial appointments are usually longer while follow-up appointments tend to be shorter. Please speak with your clinical trial coordinator to obtain a duration estimate of your next appointment.

Appointments or visits may vary greatly depending on trial and timepoint.

Screening visits involve an introduction to the trial staff and information regarding the trial, part of the informed consent process.

Examinations and laboratory tests may be involved but only after you have provided informed consent.

Randomization visits are considered Day 0 of the trial and involve your placement into a randomized control or treatment group (there can be multiple treatment groups) as well as possible exams/labs as per the trial protocol.

The remainder of your visits will be explained in detail to you by your clinical trial coordinator.

If you are interested in a clinical trial, please contact us to determine if you are eligible and book your first screening appointment. Subsequent appointments will be booked with your clinical trial coordinator after each previous appointment.

Oftentimes, clinical trials can be strict with concomitant medications taken during a trial. If permitted, prescription refills for non-trial medications may be filled out in-clinic at your appointment. In most cases, prescriptions are faxed to your pharmacy and should last 3 to 6 months, depending on the medication and condition being treated.

If you must miss your appointment, please reach out to your clinical trial coordinator at least 24 hours prior to reschedule. It is imperative that missed clinical trial appointments are rescheduled quickly to avoid protocol deviations and late medication doses. If you are currently on a trial and no longer wish to participate, please speak with your clinical trial coordinator to arrange early departure.
