Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for prisoners?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting prisoners studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a prisoners trial?

- Does it cost anything to join a prisoners trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
