Overview
The Institute for Clinical Research at Holy Name Medical Center provides investigators, facilities and services for sponsoring agencies that seek to advance patient care through clinical research. High quality clinical trials are conducted to test new medications, devices, diagnostic modalities and treatment protocols. Because of the Institute's size and scope, it can offer sponsors high quality data and accruals more expeditiously and efficiently than academic clinical research centers.
The Institute is currently conducting both inpatient and outpatient Phase I - IV studies in multiple therapeutic areas in a state-of-the-art facility that meets regulatory and industry standards. The facility includes a waiting area for study patients, investigator's office, patient examination rooms, a laboratory area, a conference room, private rooms for monitors, space for administrators and coordinators and storage space for regulatory documents and study records. The drug/device storage area was specifically built to meet FDA requirements, industry standards and regulatory guidelines.
