Clinical research studies in The Villages
Memory and Alzheimer's research. The Villages and nearby Lady Lake are home to dedicated research sites such as Charter Research and K2 Medical Research, and many of their studies focus on memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and related conditions such as Parkinson's disease. Our guide explains what Alzheimer's treatment looks like today.
Weight loss and diabetes. Studies of investigational medicines for obesity and type 2 diabetes also recruit in the area; see our weight loss clinical trials page.
Other conditions common after 60. Local studies also cover conditions such as fatty liver disease, COPD, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain, and some accept healthy volunteers.
Can you get paid for clinical trials in The Villages?
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 ethics board that oversees each study, called an institutional review board, must approve both the amount and the payment schedule, and FDA guidance says payment should add up visit by visit rather than depend on finishing the whole study. In practice, people who leave a study early are usually paid for the visits they completed.
Our guide explains how much clinical trials pay and how payment is decided.
Does Medicare cover clinical trials?
Medicare covers the routine costs of qualifying clinical trials, such as the doctor visits and tests you would have whether or not you were in a study, and the care of complications that arise from taking part. It does not pay for the investigational item itself or for items the sponsor provides free to every participant, which usually includes the study medicine. Our guide to clinical trials for older adults explains Medicare coverage in more detail.
Do I have to stop my regular medicines to join a study?
Usually not, but some studies ask you to pause certain medicines for a set time, called a washout period, under the guidance of the study doctor. Never stop a prescribed medicine on your own to qualify for a study. Our guide explains how washout periods work.
