Cancer clinical trials in Melbourne, FL
Cancer research makes up a large share of the studies on the Space Coast, and many local cancer studies run through Cancer Care Centers of Brevard.

Do clinical trials in Melbourne pay?
Some studies offer compensation for time and travel, and study related care is typically provided at no cost to participants. Compensation varies by trial and is always described during the informed consent process before you agree to anything. The institutional review board that oversees each study must approve any payment before the study begins, and FDA guidance treats payment as a way to recognize your time, not as a benefit of taking part. If you receive payment, it is usually spread across the visits you complete.
Our guide explains how much clinical trials pay and how payment is decided.
Can I join a cancer clinical trial while getting standard treatment?
Sometimes. Some cancer studies add an investigational treatment to standard care, others compare a new treatment with the standard one, and some require that you have not yet started treatment. Talk to your oncologist before you apply; our guide to standard treatment versus clinical trials can help you weigh the options.
How to join a clinical trial in Melbourne
- Identify your trial. Use the filters on this page to narrow the list by condition or phase, or search a diagnosis such as breast cancer or fatty liver disease.
- Check the location. Each study lists the sites where it recruits, so confirm it has a site in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera, or elsewhere in Brevard County.
- Explore study details. Read the eligibility criteria and, where listed, the number of visits and how long the study lasts before applying.
- Complete the health profile. Click "See if you qualify" to begin the 5-step application. Have ready your diagnosis and when it was made, the medicines you take, and any recent test results.
- Submit the application. A clinical trial coordinator reviews it and contacts you to discuss next steps. Nothing is decided until informed consent, and participation is voluntary at every step.
Our guide to finding clinical trials near you covers each step in more detail.
