Clinical research is essential for the advancement of medicine. It allows for the expansion of researchers’ understanding of how the human body functions, making it possible for people to receive better care and experience better treatment outcomes.
For some, it’s also a way to get access to brand-new treatments not yet widely available. If you’re looking for a chance to do your own part and help medicine take the next step forward, there are lots of clinical research opportunities available. Learn more about some of the options in Florida that are currently enrolling male participants.
The purpose of the A5 kidney study is to determine how the investigational drug is absorbed, broken down, and removed from the body in volunteers with kidney impairment on hemodialysis when compared to volunteers with a normal level of kidney function. Information regarding safety and side effects that may occur will also be collected. This study is for research purposes only and is not intended to treat your kidney disease.
The investigational drug will be administered as a single oral dose of study medication in two separate treatment periods To qualify, you must be a man or woman between the ages of 18 to 75. You must receive dialysis treatments at least three times per week and may see a nephrologist for medicines such as Procrit®, Epogen®, or Aranesp® for low blood count, PhosLo for high blood phosphorus.
The A5 study requires that you stay at the research facility for nine days and eight nights and requires three follow-up visits over two separate treatment periods. Qualified participants will receive study medication, study-related physical exams, and laboratory tests and will receive up to $7,650 for time and travel.

The University of Central Florida is sponsoring a study that aims to see how collagen protein compares to a placebo when it comes to tendon and muscle recovery after calf exercises. To participate, you must be a man between the ages of 18 and 30 and must be considered healthy.
If you’re allergic to bovine collagen or maltodextrin, if you’re not healthy enough for the study, or if you’ve not participated in strength training in the last three months, you may not be eligible. The study will take one to two weeks and will require five total visits.
You will complete some calf muscle exercises during these visits and get your calf and your Achilles tendon measured. Throughout the study, you will need to take 30 mg of either placebos or collagen peptides made from bovine hide.
