The PRACS commitment to clinical research

We are zealously committed to delivering consistent, reliable, and ethical clinical trials. We take great pride in our clean, healthy study population for 'bio' studies. Our group also has extensive experience with successful trials of female study volunteers of various ages and population groups. Our center preferentially selects clean non-smoking subjects unless the sponsor or the study trial design requires a tobacco-use population.

We provide timely, accurate, affordable results

• Our team approach to study project management simplifies data and subject processing.
• Our sample collections are precisely scheduled and in strict compliance with study protocol.
• Our highly accurate data collection and management system provides a clean, logical audit trail.
• We're located in a region where the work ethic is famous… our dropouts are minimal… and that's reflected in competitive pricing.
• We've earned an outstanding record with FDA audits.

Our volunteers are clean, healthy and reliable

Our clean, healthy, willing volunteers and reliable patients has "put us on the map" in pharmaceutical research. We have a large database of potential study participants who are accessible by phone, email or letter. Screening has proven to take less time… and that cost savings is passed on to our sponsors. We're fortunate to draw from a population of 42,000 college students, as well as reliable patient volunteers from two metropolitan areas of about 255,000.

Female volunteers have responded!

• We have an unusually large pool of female volunteers -- post-menopausal, surgically post-menopausal, surgically sterile and women of child-bearing potential.
• All volunteers are nonsmoking subjects unless the sponsor requires tobacco use.
• Our region has an extremely low incidence of AIDS virus and positive hepatitis screens.
• Study participant dropout rates are less than 3%.
• Our Institutional Review Board is comprised of dedicated volunteers from the scientific, medical and lay communities to meet all FDA requirements.
