Myth! ❌

Clinical trials are for everyone. At Simbec-Orion, we run trials for both healthy volunteers and patients. When you visit our website, you can see whether a trial is recruiting healthy volunteers or patients on our 'current studies' page.

If you don't meet the current recruitment needs, you can still submit a general application to receive suitable study details as they become available
