I'm a study Veteran having done 12 studies and I have not gotten into all three studies that I have done at . The first one was a have done to get into but I was asked to check in. I did not dose and was an alternate. I except that as it si part of our business to be alternates. The second time they called and said I didn't even make it past the screening process saying there was a problem with my labs. The second time third time they said it was my glucose being too high but a tiny bit. She accused me of eating soing like sugar before checking in. I watch what I eat and eat extremely healthy. I just don't know why I am having these problems. I've done 3 studies at Covance, 3 at Spaulding, four at Parexel, one at Ohio Clinical, one at , and one at Medpace. Should I just not screen there anymore???

i only get in half the time i screen at places. abbie has lots of big money studies. i'd say keep screening there, unless it too far for you. i just got in at celerion, unless, as is likely they make me an alternate. i'e lost a lot of money screening there over the years. earlier this year i did a study at parexel, after not screening there the past 6 years because i used to never get in. (on the other hand i never got in to eli lilly after 3 tries then they shut down, which is when i looked up jalr and my life changed.)
you have to weigh your time and travel costs against what you expect to make and what your other options are.
you made it past screening 2 out of 3 times. i think your chances are good. they do use about 5 alternates per study, and they dont tell you you are an alternate till you get there. the trick is to screen on the first or second day of screening. if you screen on the last day you will probably be an alternate.

The "trick" is to have good labs and vitals. The last 2 studies I did there I was 15th and 18th in check-in for studies that where only taking 12 people. I made it both times in one of the last couple spots. I passed the other people because of failed labs and/or vitals. I've screened on the 4th day of 7 and still gotten in. They take the healthiest people, not necessarily the first to screen. The problem I have with is that after you've done a few studies there then it's hard to get in again because you've already taken the compound they're testing and won't let you take it again. I called for 3 different studies in the last 4 months and they all included a compound I had already taken so I was excluded. |

The odd thing is that out of all of the study places is the closest to where I am. I've traveled twice as far to Covance, Parexel, and and gotten in ALWAYS! I've only not made it in to check in three times(not including the two times I was an alternate) and all three times were at . The thing that pissed me off was that when they called to tell me I didn't make it the women insisted that I had eaten soing sugary to "spike up" my sugar levels. Even after I said this was not true as I don't eat junk food or rarely anything with sugar, she ignored what I said and persisted on her sugar shack accusations. I may go back only if I have a screening at Spaulding at the same time so that way it isn't a total loss. I always get into Spaulding. They love me. The staff know me very well. They even try to find another study for me to get into. And I've gotten into some pretty hard to get into studies there. Most of the studies I've done had strict criteria. This is why I am amazed that I have had such problems with . I'll give them another try but after that I'll just cut my losses.
