When you participate in a clinical research study, you can change the pace of medicine. Research participants are critical in the development and testing to find better ways to diagnose and treat patients. Your participation in a study helps move this process forward to finding new therapies for critically ill patients. As a participant in a study, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your time and travel.

Understanding Clinical Trials

Volunteering for clinical studies may not only benefit you, but could benefit millions through the development of life-changing treatments.

At Medpace, our goal is to advance medical knowledge and help bring new treatments to the public. Before a drug or device can be introduced to the public, it must undergo a series of studies to prove that it is safe and effective. We have conducted hundreds of Phase I Studies and have built a staff of qualified and experienced professionals who work to safely manage our studies.

Participants must complete the Study Participant Questionnaire to take part in a Medpace clinical study. The Medpace Clinical Pharmacology staff will determine your eligibility for current or future studies based on your medical history and the answers you provide in our questionnaire. Your answers are kept completely private and are not shared with anyone else.

After you become a registered participant, a Medpace staff member will work with you to schedule a screening appointment. Following your screening appointment, you will go through the informed consent process, receive a complete medical examination, and then, depending upon the study, you may undergo blood/urine testing and other routine procedures to confirm you are in good health prior to enrollment.

Every study is different. There are a multitude of reasons as to why you may not be chosen for a study. If you do not qualify for a specific study right away, we will keep your name in our confidential database, and contact you when we have a study that is a good match for you.

Informed Consent is an agreement between you (the study participant) and the study’s Principal Investigator (PI), designed to ensure your safety and guarantee that you fully understand the risks involved before you volunteer to participate in the research study.
