Selected answer:the subject
Explanation:
I should think it must be the subject. If you are going to be a human guinea-pig in some medical test, I think you would expect to be paid for it, rather than having to pay for the experience yourself.

Thank you!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jim Tucker (X): Yes- and "completed" is the clincher here. The subject's job is just to show up. Furthermore the investigator's fee would not logically go up, while the repeat subject may be more valuable to a study for many reasons.

agree  Gary D: The investigator would be employed, so would not recieve any extra fees for a subject having a clinical test, it has to be the subject.

the investigator


Explanation:
since a study subject would never receive a "fee", but rather "compensation/remuneration" or some such like - but more context is needed to be sure

agree  Michael Barnett: Having participated in many clinical trials as an investigator, it is the investigator who usually gets the fee. "Completed" refers to completing and faxing the documentation for each visit. I have not yet been in a trial that paid the subjects.

The subject


Explanation:
While my daughter was working in the USA she often considered going for the so called clinical trials because they offered from $100-150 for persons willing to be guinea pigs! The only thing that kept her from doing it, was that they stipulated that you had to return for subsequent testing and she was not always free to do so.
