About clinical trials

Clinical research is the process of studying new medical treatments — like medications, therapies, or devices — to find out if they're safe and if they work. It's how today's treatments were tested and approved, and it's how tomorrow's treatments get discovered. By taking part in DPMG Clinical Research studies, participants help move medicine forward while getting access to care that's closely monitored every step of the way.

Access to new treatments — Get access to promising new therapies, sometimes years before they're widely available.Expert medical care — Receive close monitoring and attention from our experienced research physicians, clinicians and coordinators throughout the study.No-cost study-related care — Study-related medical exams, lab work, and treatments are provided at no cost to participants.Help others — Contribute to medical research that may help improve treatment options for future patients facing the same condition.Compensation — Most studies offer compensation for time and travel.

All clinical trials follow strict safety protocols and are reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) before they begin. An independent review board evaluates the study to help protect participants’ rights and safety. Your safety is monitored closely throughout the entire study.

Each study has specific eligibility requirements based on factors like age, health history, and current condition. Our team can help you find out if you qualify for a study that fits your needs. If you don’t qualify for any studies at this time, we’ll add you to our secure database and contact you when future opportunities arise.
