Clinical trials in Ontario: what's recruiting

The Ontario area currently has 1,702 studies open to new participants, according to the ClinicalTrials.gov registry maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Among the studies closest to Ontario, the most active research areas are:

  • Cancer & Oncology13 studies
  • Heart & Vascular3 studies
  • Diabetes & Metabolism1 studies
  • Liver & Kidney1 studies
  • Brain & Mental Health1 studies

Every listing shows the study phase, the recruiting site and its distance from Ontario, and links to the official registry page where eligibility criteria and study contacts are published. Compensation is set by each sponsor: industry surveys report typical payments of $75 to $4,500 per completed study, with short observational studies at the low end and multi-visit or overnight Phase 1 studies at the high end.

How to enroll in a paid study in Ontario

Start with a study whose condition matches your profile — or a healthy-volunteer study if you have no diagnosis. Contact the research site through the registry page, complete a short phone screen, then attend an in-person screening visit. If you qualify, the study team walks you through the informed consent document, which details every procedure, risk and payment before you commit. You can withdraw at any point, and enrollment is always free.

Ontario participants can also register with the dedicated research centers listed above — many maintain volunteer databases and call when a matching study opens — or sign up for our email alert below to hear when a new study starts recruiting within 30 miles of your ZIP code.

Frequently asked questions

Are clinical trials in Ontario safe?
Every trial on this page is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, the official NIH registry, and is overseen by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). Before joining you receive an informed consent document detailing procedures, risks and compensation. Participation is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time.
How do I join a study in Ontario, CA?
Pick a study that matches your profile, contact the research site (or apply through the study links on this page), pass a phone pre-screen, then attend an in-person screening visit. If you qualify, you review and sign the informed consent and the study begins. The process typically takes 1-3 weeks.
Is compensation for clinical trials taxable?
In the U.S., clinical trial compensation is generally considered taxable income, and research sites may issue a 1099 form for payments above $600 in a year. Reimbursements for travel or meals are typically treated differently. Consult a tax professional for your situation.
What is the difference between a research center and a hospital study in Ontario?
Dedicated research centers (listed on this page with their Google ratings) run studies as their core business — often healthy-volunteer and vaccine studies with structured compensation. Hospital and university studies tend to focus on patients with specific conditions. Both types are registered and IRB-supervised.
Can I be in more than one clinical trial at a time?
Generally no — most studies exclude participants currently enrolled in another trial, and paid Phase 1 studies enforce a washout period (often 30 days or more) between studies. Frequent healthy volunteers in Ontario typically complete one or two studies per year.
