Research involving the human person does not give rise to any direct or indirect financial compensation for the persons who take part in it, apart from the reimbursement of expenses incurred and, where applicable, compensation for constraints suffered paid by the promoter. The total amount of compensation that a person may receive in any one year is limited to a maximum set by the Minister for Health.
The payment of such compensation is prohibited in the case of research carried out on minors, persons under legal protection, adults unable to give their consent, persons deprived of their liberty, persons under psychiatric care pursuant to Chapters II to IV of Title I of Book II of Part Three of this Code or Article 706-135 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and persons admitted to a health and social establishment for purposes other than research.
Persons likely to be involved in the research referred to in 1° of article L. 1121-1 will undergo a prior medical examination appropriate to the research. The results of this examination are communicated to them directly or via the doctor of their choice.
When the research involving humans concerns the field of midwifery and meets the conditions laid down in the last paragraph of Article L. 1121-5, the results of this examination are communicated to them directly or via the doctor or midwife of their choice.
When the research involving the human person concerns the field of dentistry, the results of this examination are communicated to them directly or via the doctor or dental surgeon of their choice.
The social security organisation has a claim against the sponsor for payment of benefits paid or provided.
