Lehigh Center for Clinical Research opened its doors in 2001. Since then we have grown into the largest independently run research facility in the Lehigh Valley. We credit this success to our highly trained staff of doctors, nurses, and study coordinators who believe that the health and wellbeing of our patients is of the utmost importance.
According to the National Institute of Health, Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer's, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that more than 5 million Americans may have Alzheimer's.
Since new treatments for Alzheimer's disease are urgently needed, medical research studies for those with Alzheimer's are critically important to the health and well-being of a growing number of people. These research studies would be impossible without volunteers like you.
Remember: To participate in this research study, volunteers must have mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
While participation in a clinical trial is voluntary, you are compensated for travel. Compensation for out-patient studies is based upon the number of visits required to complete the study.
If you are interested in participating or just wish to learn more, please provide us with your contact information. We will contact you within two business days after your submission.
Doctors and scientists are constantly discovering new medications and devices that may help prevent, detect, diagnose, control, and treat illnesses. A clinical trial or research study is a scientific study that tests these new discoveries. Clinical trials depend upon the participation of volunteers.
There is no guarantee that subjects will receive any benefit from participating in the study. Your condition might not get better or may even get worse while you are in this study. However, this research study may yield new information that could benefit patients in the future by helping to answer questions about the effectiveness and safety of the study medication.
Participation in a research study is completely voluntary. In all research studies, qualified potential participants are first informed about the research study in detail. After receiving this information, all participants must give their consent in writing to proceed. Some research studies involve more tests and doctor visits than the participant would normally have for an illness or condition.
Health Insurance is not required to participate.
There are no charges to you for participation in this medical research study. You will not be charged for the study drug, study-related procedures and tests, or study visits.
Before participating in a trial volunteers must meet specific requirements that are detailed in writing. These requirements are based on various factors, such as your age, medical history, current health status, current medications, and allergies. The circumstances that allow one to participate are called Inclusion Criteria and those that prevent participation are called Exclusion Criteria. These requirements are used to ensure the accuracy of the trial as well as the safety of all participants. We will not know whether you satisfy all study requirements until we speak with you and, if appropriate, complete a screening assessment at our facilities.
At the Lehigh Center for Clinical Research, we understand you have made the decision to be a part of our study team for many reasons and expect a pleasurable study experience. We will always do our best to accommodate your needs. Our team is always on call if you have questions or concerns.
