  • Study medications, lab tests, and health evaluations are provided at no cost to you or your insurance.
  • Study-related care from the research physician, nurse, and staff at no cost.
  • Access to treatments and medications that are not available outside research studies.
  • The opportunity to contribute to medical advancements and to help others.

No. PriMED is involved in research that we believe can potentially benefit the participants and/or the community as a whole. Any medication you have ever taken has been researched in similar ways with the help of people who volunteer for research studies.

Research is the best way to determine what works best in preventing, treating, and detecting diseases. Some studies help find safer and more effective medicines than those currently prescribed, while other studies compare commonly prescribed medications to determine which works the best and is safest.

Your health and safety are our top priorities. All medicines currently available have possible side effects that may be experienced by some. It is important to weigh the benefits and risks of taking any medications. Our research team is there to carefully track any side effects as well as benefits you may have.

Research standards are very strict. This helps to ensure maximum safety for participants. Studies are designed to identify side effects and benefits. Although all medications can have side effects and risks, each study we conduct has been reviewed by teams of government and research experts to ensure the potential benefits outweigh any risks of the study.

At PriMED, our mission is to provide exceptional care through innovation, process, and integrity. As part of our commitment to this mission, we believe clinical research is important to help advance medical science and improve the quality of healthcare.
