By using advanced electronic systems for recruitment, data capture, tracking, and reporting the operations are simplified giving sponsors real-time on-line access to their study, To ensure menu consistency among volunteers in each study, a registered dietician is available to prepare specialized diets for protocols that require them.
More than 95% of the staff is bilingual, enabling proper care and communication with the multi-ethnic, diverse patient populations of Houston. We have a strong commitment to training and a team-oriented environment.
What make our site special when compared with others Phase I and II units is our capability to implement in a very short time a study in patients with an specific pathology. Our association with a multi-specialty, walk-in Clinic that sees more than 300 patients daily in conjunction with our big data base with more than 400,000 patients allows us to interact with a high number of pathologies and patients resulting in an early and successful recruitment and enrollment.
