If you meet the initial qualifications for one of our paid clinical trials based on your conversation with our recruiters, you will be invited to come in for a screening visit. At the screening visit, our staff will provide you with a document containing detailed study information and answer any questions you may have. Your participation in the study is completely voluntary.

If you participate in a paid clinical trial that requires an overnight stay / inpatient stay, you will check in on a predetermined date with other volunteers. A room will be assigned to you for the duration of your stay, and you will receive the investigational medication. After receiving the medication, your health status will be monitored to ensure your safety and well-being. Throughout the study, a doctor will periodically meet with you to verify your health and check for any side effects from the medication.

During your stay, you will be provided with daily meals and snacks, and have access to a variety of entertainment options, including a theatre room, foosball, arcade games, pool table, ping pong table, streaming movies, video games, and more.

Follow-up visits are similar to overnight stays in that medication may be administered, and tests will be performed to evaluate the medication's effects on your body. However, you do not need to stay overnight. These visits typically consist of brief check-ups at our facility in Orange County, CA to continue monitoring the medication's effectiveness. In some cases, follow-up visits can be conducted over the phone without the need to visit our facility. These visits can occur anywhere between a few days to several months after your in-house stay has been completed.
