支付臨床試驗費用

當您考慮參加臨床試驗時，將面臨如何支付護理費用的問題。 與臨床試驗相關的費用有兩種：患者護理費用和研究費用。

病人護理費用是指與癌症治療相關的費用，無論您是處於試驗階段還是接受標準治療。 這些費用通常由健康保險支付。 他們包括：

• 醫生就診

• 住院時間

• 標準癌症治療

• 減少或消除癌症症狀或治療副作用的治療方法

• 實驗室測試

• X-rays and other imaging tests

Research costs are those related to taking part in the trial. Often these costs are not covered by health insurance, but they may be covered by the trial’s sponsor. Examples include:

• The study drug

• Lab tests performed purely for research purposes

• Additional x-rays and imaging tests performed solely for the trial

When you take part in a trial, you may have extra doctor visits that you would not have with standard treatment. During these visits your doctor carefully watches for side effects and your safety in the study. These extra visits can add costs for transportation and child care.
