For Patients

Interested in Joining a Clinical Trial?

Clinical Candidates works with research sites worldwide to help them find patients for their studies. If you were referred here by a physician or research team, please contact them directly. If you are looking for a trial on your own, we can point you in the right direction.

What Is Clinical Candidates?

Clinical Candidates is a recruitment marketing agency. We work behind the scenes for research sites and pharmaceutical companies — helping them find and reach patients who may be eligible for clinical trials.

We do not run clinical trials ourselves and we do not hold patient information. If you are looking to participate in a trial, you will need to contact a research site directly.

If you arrived here from an advertisement or referral for a specific trial, please go back to that source and follow the contact instructions provided.

Ask Your Doctor

Your own physician is often the best starting point. Ask whether any clinical trials are available for your condition — many are referred directly through existing care teams.

Why Consider a Clinical Trial?

  • Access to investigational treatments before they reach the market
  • Expert specialist care at no out-of-pocket cost to you
  • Study-related tests, lab work, and medications provided free of charge
  • Compensation for your time and travel in many studies
  • Close medical monitoring throughout the trial period
  • Opportunity to advance medical science for future patients

Your Rights as a Participant

  • You are never obligated to join or stay in a trial
  • You can withdraw at any time without affecting your regular care
  • All studies are approved by an Independent Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee
  • Full informed consent is obtained before any procedures begin
  • Your personal information is kept strictly confidential
  • You will be told about any risks or benefits before you decide

What to Expect

The process is straightforward, respectful, and entirely at your pace.
