Why Consider a Clinical Trial ?

Participating in research is a meaningful decision—and we want you to make it with full information. Here’s what participation looks like at Horizon.

Study-related care at no cost. All medical care related to the study—visits, tests, and treatments—is provided at no charge to you or your insurance.
Compensation for your time. Most studies offer compensation to cover your time, travel, and effort throughout the study.
FDA oversight at every step. Every study follows FDA guidelines and is monitored by an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB) to protect your safety.
Access to treatments not yet widely available. Participants may gain access to therapies still in development—options that wouldn’t otherwise be available outside of research.
Your participation is always your choice. You can ask questions at any time, take time to decide, and withdraw from a study at any point for any reason.

Still have questions? We’re happy to walk you through what participation involves—no commitment required.
