Share your experience
How did you experience your participation?
Do you know friends or family who, like you, would like to contribute to clinical drug research? Share your experience at SGS CPU and invite them, without any obligation, to join our Pioneers database. In doing so, you help future participants make a well-informed decision.
For many people, drug research is still unfamiliar. Yet we are all grateful that safe and effective treatments exist when we have health complaints. This progress is only possible thanks to participants: pioneers who take part in clinical studies.
By sharing your experiences from a study at SGS CPU in Edegem (Antwerp), you give interested individuals an honest and relatable picture of what participation involves. This can be done in several ways.
Recruit a pioneer
Would you like to further increase your contribution to clinical drug research? Encourage friends, family, or acquaintances to become pioneers and learn more about participating in clinical studies at SGS CPU.
Complete the form below, and we will provide your contact with clear, no-obligation information about our research center, how studies are conducted, and what participation entails. The interested person then decides entirely independently whether he or she wishes to be included in our Pioneers database.
Receive a €50 gift voucher
When the pioneer you referred visits us for a first screening and mentions your name, you will automatically receive a gift voucher worth €50 (choice card via Cadeauconcept). The voucher can be used on Belgian and Dutch websites.
Contribute yourself to a future testimonial or interview
Several pioneers have recently volunteered to share a testimonial about their participation in clinical drug research at SGS CPU. From their own perspectives, experiences, and reflections, they explain how participation in a clinical study works and what it means to them. Explore their stories and discover an honest picture of drug research in Belgium.
Would you also like to take part in an interview, video recording, photoshoot, or other material about your experience as a pioneer? We would be happy to hear from you at pionier@sgs.com

Talk to our confidential advisors
At SGS CPU, we believe it is important that you feel safe. That is why you can always turn to our confidential advisors if you experience inappropriate behavior during a study. The confidential advisors will listen to your story and discuss with you which steps may be possible. Everything you share will always remain confidential. You can reach out to a (non-study-specific) CPU staff member, Annelies Beullens, and two trained volunteers: Ibrahim Kalkan and Sophie van Neer. They are ready to support you.
You can approach them personally during your stay or contact them via email.
