Frequently Asked Questions
What is your new patient procedure?
At Pioneer Clinical Research we endeavour to keep trial participants well informed prior to
any clinical trial procedures. To ensure this is the case all interested patients are required to
have a face to face meeting with the trial team to confirm they are eligible and willing and
able to commit to study requirements. Once confirmed the relevant paperwork will be
completed and study participation can begin.
What will it cost me?
Participation is 100% free for all participants and participants are reimbursed for their time
and effort. Our North Sydney site has excellent access to public transport and parking is
reimburseable under certain circumstances.
How does my participation count?
Pioneer Clinical Research will work with participants individually and follow an ethically
approved visit process. All the data collected from your visits will be analysed and will
contribute to a better understanding of a specific therapeutic area so that improved
treatments and procedures can be developed for the community.
Can I change my mind?
Absolutely! Your participation in the clinical trial is completely voluntary and our team is here
to provide support and guidance.
How do I sign up to participate?
Contact us using the details in the Contact Us Section and one of our site staff will be in
touch to discuss with you the options available and book in a consultation with our medical

Are there any risks?
There are always risks in any medical procedure which our team will highlight prior to any
study related activities commencing. If you decide to participate the team will also regularly
update you during the progress of the study on any new information relevant to the study.
Are there any benefits?
Your participation will assist in the development of improved clinical practice and will expand
the knowledge base relating to both new and old medications.

certain medical conditions. Participants will be reimbursed for their time and effort while also
having the support of our medical team for the duration of the trial.
