Four steps, one clear timeline, no gotchas. Below is what actually happens from the first phone call to the day a study closes — plus the answers to the questions we get every week.
10–15 minutes with a coordinator. You describe your breathing, current meds, and history. We flag anything that might fit — and we say so plainly if nothing does.
Full pulmonary function testing on-site, a chart review with Dr. Parodi, and a plain-English walkthrough of the protocol. You sign consent only when ready.
Typically monthly. Medication, labs, and imaging are covered by the sponsor. Compensation per protocol. You can withdraw at any point, for any reason.
Final safety visit, written summary of what the study learned, and — where eligible — a path to open-label access to the therapy that was tested.
No trial at Veritas Clinical Research runs without ongoing oversight from an IRB that has no financial stake in the outcome. If they pause a study, we pause it the same day.
Lab results, imaging, pulmonary function scores — all of it. We send copies to your primary doctor and your pulmonologist on request. No black box.
No questions, no guilt, no administrative delay. A short form, and your standard care continues uninterrupted. We stay friendly either way.
Every study is reviewed by an independent IRB and continuously monitored. No first-in-human dosing happens at Veritas Clinical Research — only Phase 2+ programs with established safety data. You can withdraw at any time, for any reason.
Zero. All study-related visits, medications, labs, and imaging are covered by the sponsor. Most studies also compensate participants for time and travel — typically $40–$150 per visit.
Yes. Veritas Clinical Research works alongside your primary care physician and pulmonologist. We send visit summaries to whoever you designate and coordinate directly on anything that changes.
We tell you clearly and quickly. With your permission, we keep your information on file for a future study that might be a better fit.
It depends on the study design. Some are placebo-controlled; others are open-label. We walk through exactly what each protocol involves during your screening visit — before you sign anything.
Anytime. No questions, no penalty, no impact on your care. A short form, and your standard treatment resumes uninterrupted.
Twenty minutes on the phone. No commitment, no consent forms, no paperwork. You leave knowing whether anything fits — and we leave knowing how to help.
