Core Clinical Research is a Central Nervous System (CNS) Specialty Site. We conduct research studies in psychiatry and neurology. Our areas of research may include, but are not limited to:

Prescreening

Whether this is your first time participating in a clinical trial or you have been a part of trials with other locations in the past, we’d like to share what it is like to get through the prescreening process and what you can expect.

Initial Prescreen

When you contact us, we’ll begin with an initial call where we ask basic questions such as your age, gender, previous or current medications, type and stage of a condition or diagnosis, current and past symptoms and level of impairment, previous and existing medical conditions, and prior participation in a clinical trial.

Eligibility

Once you are eligible and interested after a prescreen call, you will be able to make an appointment for a Study Screening Visit, and you will receive a very thorough medical and psychiatric evaluation. All study-related examinations and care are at no cost to you.

Assessments

When you schedule your first appointment to determine eligibility for a clinical trial, there will be some required assessments. These assessments are determined by the research protocol for the specific clinical trial that you are interested in. All assessments are at no cost to you. Common tools used to determine study eligibility may include blood/urine samples, electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature), medical history interview, physical examination, and psychiatric evaluation.

Know Before You Go

In preparation for your research study visits, please make sure you know the following things:

  • How long can I expect my visit to be?

  • Will I receive study medication today?

  • Will I have blood drawn, and do I need to fast?

  • What do I potentially need to have for my appointment?

    • Study Medications

    • Dosing Diaries

    • Self-Assessments

    • Study Related Devices, like a sleep tracker or study Fit Bit

Getting Involved

Clinical study options come in many shapes and sizes. Here are some things you should discuss during your prescreening call.

  • How long is the study and how many clinic visits does it involve?

  • What is the study participant stipend and when/how will I receive it?

  • What are the study treatment arms, and do they all involve taking medication?

  • How long are the study visits?
