"Volunteers receive investigational treatments under the supervision of a physician and have the opportunity to receive new - and potentially more effective - medical treatments." Each clinical study is monitored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Pioneer Medical Group physicians. Volunteers receive free medical care, medication and possible compensation.
