RE: remicade study in gainesville

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

No, you don't need insurance. They for the Remicade for a full year. You

do have to have been on Methotrexate for at least 3 months, though.

This is the trial info:

Physicians with Florida Medical Research Institute are conducting a clinical

research study of a marketed medication for the treatment of Rheumatoid

Arthritis.

If you have Rheumatoid Arthritis, you may qualify to participate in this

clinical research study. To qualify, you must:

* Be diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis for at least 3 months

* Be taking Methotrexate for at least 3 months

* Have no prior treatment with Remicade

* Be at least 18 years of age

Qualified participants will receive all study-related care at no charge,

including physical exams, lab tests & study medication.

They are really nice people. The study papers I signed today said that

the trial is for 200 people (nationwide, I guess). So, if you're interested

and qualify, I would give them a call soon. The only drawback is the

drive to Gainesville and back, but compared to the cost of Remicade, it's a

bargain.

Love and hugs,
