Medical Research Tampa
Meridien Research offers Florida
residents the opportunity to participate in clinical trials and
medical research for a number of important diseases. With
research offices located in Tampa, St. Petersburg, & Brooksville,
Florida; convenient access to the latest advances in medicine are
available. Clinical trials of important new medications are
evaluated in phase II, phase III, and phase IV clinical studies in
order to find new treatments for patients suffering from conditions
like Alzheimer’s Disease, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression,
attention deficit disorder (ADHD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
obesity and others. These studies are used to to assess the
effectiveness and safety of new medical treatments.
Meridien Research is a resource for patients and families interested in
clinical trials of investigational medications. Clinical research
subjects undergo medical testing, and are closely followed by the study
physician and medical staff. There is never a charge to the patient as the
cost of medical research is paid for by the pharmaceutical company
sponsor.
You do not have to have a medical condition to participate in a
clinical trial. |
