the subject would be compensated or not
It means that the person (subject) participating in clinical trials would either be paid or not depending on the trials.

Shera Lyn Parpia
: being part of a trial can't be considered work. /It would be unethical and unreliable if the experimental subject was paid. And in any case I doubt it could be considered "work"

Why can't being a part of a trial be considered work? From little context above, I imagined there are subjects (people) who gathered to be experimented on clinical trial, i.e testing of whether the newly developped drug is effective or not.

: I agree with Shera. It may be a question for the participant to answer as to whether something that he/she does on a regular basis might skew the test results.--XX--Yes, that is exactly what I mean.

Thanks for your comments. You mean the if the subject is doing paid work or not (i.e. employed or unemployed, or doing voluntary work) in their daily lives?

: It refers to their 'employment status' and it would have been better if they had used that term.
