For over 30 years, PAREXEL has helped biopharmaceutical companies bring their innovative drug treatments into the hands of those that need them most. PAREXEL has conducted clinical research studies on investigational medications for a wide variety of diseases and conditions and has participated in the development of 195 of the world’s 200 top-selling prescription medications.

PAREXEL – Los Angeles is located on the Glendale Adventist Medical Center campus in Glendale, CA. The research facility is staffed around the clock by a highly trained team which includes board-certified physicians in psychiatry, internal medicine, and family medicine as well as clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists and physician assistants. The staff also consists of clinical pharmacologists, pharmacists, registered nurses, a recreational therapist, and highly experienced and compassionate research staff.

WHAT IS A CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY?

Before a medication or new device for treatment of medical issues is available to the public, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must review and approve the medication or device for public use. The FDA does this to learn more about the product and make sure it is effective and safe.

To get FDA approval, the company that makes the medication or device is required to conduct clinical research studies. The company will ask people to volunteer for clinical research studies. In these studies, volunteers are given the investigational medication or device and are evaluated by study doctors and staff members. After clinical research studies are completed, the company submits the study information to the FDA. The FDA reviews this information and decides if the investigational medication or device can become available to the public.

Clinical research studies are carried out under the strict supervision of fully qualified doctors, nurses and other healthcare and scientific professionals. Additionally, the Institutional Review Board (IRB), an independent ethics committee comprised of doctors, scientists and members of the community must also approve the conduct of clinical trials. The main concern is safeguarding safety and rights of study participants.

WHY PARTICIPATE?

By being a part of a clinical trial, volunteers can help move research forward. As a participant in a clinical trial, volunteers are making a substantial contribution to finding new and better treatments that may help other patients in the future.

Scientists work constantly to find better ways to treat diseases, but improved treatments can never become a reality without testing in clinical trials with human volunteers. Without the help of volunteers, finding better medicines for devastating disorders is practically impossible.

Some other benefits of participating in a clinical research study include:

• Participants may gain access to cutting-edge treatments and expert medical care

• Any medical exams, tests and/or procedures that participants receive as part of the study will be provided at no cost to them

• Free meals and care for the duration of the in-clinic stay

• Patients may receive monetary compensation for their time, travel and participation for the duration of the study
