Which statement correctly describes compensation for trial-related injuries?

• A. Compensation and/or treatment available
• B. No compensation under any circumstance
• C. Compensation is provided only after trial ends
• D. Compensation is only for non-injuries

Answer: (C)

In Good Clinical Practice, if a participant is harmed as a result of trial procedures, there is an obligation to provide medical care and compensation. This support is meant to be available during the trial, not withheld until after it ends, and it covers injuries that arise from participation, not unrelated issues. Therefore, the statement that best describes compensation for trial-related injuries is that compensation and/or treatment is provided for injuries related to the trial. The other ideas aren’t correct because they either deny compensation, delay it until after the trial ends, or limit it to non-injury issues, which would not align with participant welfare and regulatory expectations.
