SITE BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE:
In January 2009, we started conducting phase II-IV PK and non-PK, Pulmonary - Asthma, COPD, Diabetes, ADHD and Children studies. During the past four years we have participated in over 100 different clinical trials, enrolling over 250 patients into different studies. At any time our staff is involved in 5-10 clinical trials, many of them involving 20-40 patients. We have a large database that we pull patients from. Currently, the site has several studies ranging from Phase II-V, accepting Phase I, and including roll-over and expanded access clinical trials. Our site has been audited by CROs due to the high enrollment with all good out come and told we do great data capture.
We specialize in, but are not limited to, clinical trials for adults and children. We have also participated in a vaccine trial in healthy volunteers. In addition, we are part of the NIH funded network program and ACRP.
FICResearch is located at 10967 Lake Underhill Rd Suite 117 Orlando, Fl. 32825 just 10 minutes from Orlando International Airport.
