Katheryn, I went through a Clinical Trial for Car T Therapy. I had Medicare and my health insurance from when I worked for the state of New York that covered expenses. The Clinical Trial also reimbursed us for meals and when we had to stay overnight at a hotel they paid.

Clinical trial I was in for Car T Therapy also partial covered our staying at an Airbnb due to the requirement that we be at least 2 hours away from the hospital for 2 weeks. It depends on the Clinical Trial and the hospital sponsoring the trial.
