H.R. 7418: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exclude from gross income certain compensation to clinical trial participants.

This bill excludes from gross income, for income tax purposes, any amount received by an individual as a qualified clinical trial payment. Such payments include amounts paid to an individual or a dependent of the individual as compensation for participation in an approved clinical trial (i.e., a trial conducted in relation to the prevention, detection, or treatment of cancer or other disease or condition) or as reimbursement or payment of reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with the individual's participation in an approved clinical trial.
