New Efforts and Resources to Reduce the Financial Burden of Clinical Trial Participation - Metastatic Breast Cancer Trial Talk

Resources & Support

If you participate in a clinical trial, the study medication and visits with the care team will be provided to you at no cost. However, you may have to pay for other costs associated with trial participation, such as transportation, parking, child or elder care, meals, lodging, over-the-counter medications for side effects, and co-pays for tests and procedures that are considered standard of care (these are often covered by insurance, but some people don’t have insurance or don’t have enough insurance). These extra costs create financial hardship and may cause people to not participate in a trial or drop out of a trial.

New efforts are underway to remove some of these financial hardships and make trial participation more accessible to everyone. Click the links below to learn more about these ongoing efforts as well as financial resources that are currently available.
