I am going to contact the coordinators that were listed again and see if they can forward my info to other clinics. Does anybody know what is going on I even used the Clinincaltrials.gov study number? Is it just different compensation at different clinics? Is anyone else not using the Houston office and only paying $1100? If you have any info or advice please let me know. I am disappointed to say the least.

Mia - I'm not positive, but yes I do believe it is different in every location based on what they are willing to cover. I saw on another site that was offering the same trial that it was $5000 and it looks like it's cheaper in other locations. I wish I had good advice for you as to what to do. Janice can tell you more about the exact trial in Houston, but she had a LOT of stuff done here on her first visit and didn't have to pay anything (except for the $1100 that she'll need to pay later). I would call around to check though. Good luck and keep us posted!
