Clinical trials are typically sponsored by drug companies, government grants, or research foundations. The research costs for participants, including potential access to new drugs, are usually covered by the trial sponsors.

For routine medical care during the trial, you may need to use your health insurance coverage, including Medicare. This would cover standard myeloma treatments and care you'd normally receive outside of the trial. One benefit worth noting is that clinical trials can sometimes provide access to treatment that might otherwise be financially out of reach. You'll also receive enhanced care and access to researchers who are experts in myeloma treatment, which can provide valuable insights into managing your condition.
