Current Clinical Studies

How to participate in research at NorCal Medical Research, Inc.

If you have a condition listed in our current studies section and wish to consider participation, please give us a call.

We’ll explain the purpose of the study and the type of patients for whom we are searching. If we believe you will meet the eligibility criteria, we will invite you to come to our office to discuss the study. At that time, we will review the inclusion and exclusion criteria in greater detail, the informed consent document and all the features of the study and the medication under investigation.

If you meet screening criteria, we will proceed with the consenting process and enrollment for you to enter the study. Generally, patients receive all investigational products and laboratory studies at no charge and are given a small stipend for their time and travel. You will continue to receive all your other care from your existing doctors as usual.

Why participate as a patient in a clinical study at NorCal Medical Research, Inc.?

People volunteer to participate in a drug study for many different reasons. They may share an intellectual interest in new therapies that might help them or they may want to contribute to scientific data gathering. Some patients benefit by receiving medical care assessments, laboratory studies and medications at no charge but all must realize that research involves some time, some risk and a willingness to carefully follow the medical research protocols. Patients must work with staff to bring about optimal clinical and research results with our maximal safety.
