Anyone screen for that 14 night $3550 study?

have they set up any screening appointments yet? i thought they were not setting them up yet.

They sent me an email about the study. Same study info on the website. You think it's just automatic email?

they dont have the dates yet, but expect to screen around july 18-20 for an august study. you can call and get on the list yet. this one is $4000 because it has a spinal tap. if you don't want to do the spinal tap, ask to be on the list for a september study.

Vark, could you please specify about when they expect to screen? I was actually given a screening date for June 27 (2013) for the $3500 study but then a bit before I was to screen, I got an email about a $3550 study and I called and asked why there is an extra $50 for the one they sent me an email about and I was told that actually the study pays over $4000 not just an extra $50 and it is because there is a spinal tap to the later cohort . The recruiter instantly offered me the later cohort and said that if I rather take the higher paying study that she would cancel my June 27 appointment and put me on the list for the one that pays over $4000. I told her that I want to think it over for the weekend. (I had called on Friday). She allowed me to think it over. When the following Monday came I decided that it is best that I try for the higher paying cohort even though it will involve a procedure I had never tried.
So I called and left a message that I want the later cohort. I was called back a few hours later and told that my name had been added to the later cohort ( in July) and I was not given an exact date but told that someone will call me back to arrange a screening date.

Of course by opting out of the June 27 screening I got out of a screening that I definitely had an appointment for, and opted to be put on a list to be called for a later cohort. I would not know if I was put lower on the list of people to call for the later and higher-paying study and thus I don't know if they will call other people before me.

I hope that someone here can provide more information about when the screening is likely to start or what they had learned from the recruiters.

Thanks

Hello All,

Has anyone dealt with Clinilabs NY before? I'm new (as in NEVER done this before) to this clinical research trial bit. So any and all info related to Clinilabs in NYC would be appreciated. Are they safe? reliable? will I come out alive after trial period. Thanks much.

i have not done a study there but i did screen there last year. the clinic seemed very quiet and well-run. it is a small clinic that specializes in sleep diss so there are persons there who are not labrats. the staff semmed intelligent and friendly. the clinic itself is in a posh area just a few blocks from central park.

i do have a friend who did a short study there and i know he was pleased with everything. hope this helps a little. bet wishes to you.

I did not qualify for the $3550 study for some reason. I only did a phone screening.

I was just told that I disqualified for the $4050 study because my creatin levels were a bit off.
They said that the upcoming cohorts are full too.
They told me that I am welcome to try for other studies and if someone drops out of one of the upcoming cohorts they will give me a call.

They have very strict criteria.

Did you try the $3550? Clinilabs still posts it on Craigslist
