Your Doctor Stays Your Doctor
Studies are run by the physician who already knows your history, with extra oversight from our medical team and the study's independent review board.
For Patients
New Treatment Options, From The Doctor You Already Know
Clinical trials should not mean driving across town to a building you have never seen. With Stryde, studies happen at your own physician's office. Same faces, same front desk, closer follow-up, and compensation for your time.
No-Cost Study Care
Study-related visits, exams, and investigational treatment come at no cost, and most studies compensate you for time and travel.
Every Community, Represented
Medical research works best when it includes everyone. Our sites serve the neighborhoods they are in. That is the point.
Questions Welcome, Always
Before you join anything, you get every question answered in plain language, and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason.
What Happens After You Inquire?
| Step | What Happens | Are You Committed? |
|---|---|---|
|
01
You Reach Out
|
Through the registry, by email, or by asking at the front desk of a Stryde clinic | No |
|
02
A Coordinator Contacts You
|
Typically within one to two business days, by the method you chose | No |
|
03
A Plain-Language Conversation
|
What the study involves, what is known, what is asked of you; bring every question you have | No |
|
04
Screening Visit, If A Study Fits
|
Usually 60 to 90 minutes at the clinic, after you have signed an informed consent you can take home first | Still no; consent can be withdrawn at any time |
|
05
You Decide
|
Join, decline, or think about it; your regular care never depends on the answer | Always your choice |
One honest boundary: not every person with a condition will qualify, and not every study is open at all times. The first step is always a conversation, never a commitment.
Current Study Opportunities
Studies open and close on a rolling basis across skin, joints, lungs, heart, digestive, neurology, and general health. The fastest way to hear about one that fits: join the registry, or ask the front desk at your next visit. You can also browse the conditions we study, with a plain-language page for each.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No. Study-related visits, exams, and investigational treatment come at no cost, and most studies compensate you for time and travel.
Never. Participation is completely voluntary, and your regular care does not depend on it in any way. You can also leave a study at any time, for any reason.
At your own physician's office. That is the whole idea behind Stryde: the same clinic, the same front desk, the same doctor you already know, with additional oversight from our medical team.
Many modern studies compare a new treatment against the current standard treatment. When a placebo is part of a study design, you are told clearly before you sign anything.
