支付临床试验费用

当您考虑参加临床试验时，将面临如何支付护理费用的问题。 与临床试验相关的费用有两种：患者护理费用和研究费用。

病人护理费用是指与癌症治疗相关的费用，无论您是处于试验阶段还是接受标准治疗。 这些费用通常由健康保险支付。 他们包括：

• 医生就诊

• 住院时间

• 标准癌症治疗

• 减少或消除癌症症状或治疗副作用的治疗方法

• 实验室测试

• X射线和其他影像学检查

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.
