Partner Perspective

“Over 25 years of Research, I have learned that I prefer working with CCT Research. They provide the resources to get contracts with the sponsors, negotiate payments, staff to help me conduct the studies, and reassure all the data is prepared and submitted correctly. Trials run smoothly and our results meet the sponsor's goals. CCT has been a desirable clinical research company to work with.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a Principal Investigator (PI) and Sub-Investigator and what are their responsibilities?

The PI is one of the communities’ physicians and is the primary individual in charge of the clinical trial. The PI is ultimately responsible for the overall conduct of the trial and all personnel involved in the study. There is generally only one PI per site. 

The Sub I is a provider (MD, DO, NP or PA) who performs study related exams. Often times a trial will have multiple Sub I’s involved. 

Are physicians compensated for their involvement in a clinical trial?


Yes! While physicians are not paid an hourly rate for their time, they are compensated at fair market value rates for the services provided in each trial. 

Who takes on the liability and risk?

The pharmaceutical sponsor indemnifies the site, the principal and sub investigators and CCT. You will need to notify your malpractice carrier, but it shouldn’t impact your premiums. 

Will a patient be paid to participate in the clinical trial or is there a cost to participate?

Compensation for participants is unique with each clinical trial and each sponsoring partner. This is a question that should be discussed with the researcher when considering participating in a clinical trial. The experimental compound as well as tests and procedures associated with the trial are usually provided at no cost to the participant. In most cases, the cost of routine tests and procedures—not associated with the trial—are the responsibility of the participant, or the participant’s insurance carrier. 

Do we bill a patient’s insurance?

No! Everything related to a clinical trial will be paid by the pharmaceutical company. The patient will be responsible for the cost of routine medical care outside of protocol-required care. 

Can a participant leave a clinical trial at any point?

Yes. A participant can leave a clinical trial at any time. The participant should let the research team know when withdrawing from the trial and the reasons for leaving the study. 

Why partner with CCT Research?


By partnering with CCT we simplify the process of clinical research. We eliminate the hassle of staffing, business development and all back end operations. On top of this, we are focused on trials that fit the patient populations of our physicians sites. Because we create an infrastructure within the facilities, patients are more comfortable to participate in a research trial. 

Whether you're starting from the beginning or want to accelerate your research program, CCT is your partner that'll help you grow while easing the hurdles of research. Schedule a call with us to get a custom analysis and see how our partnership could benefit you.
