Cypress, CA
Phase 1 Clinical Trial Unit
Our largest clinical pharmacology unit is designed specifically for Phase 1 clinical trials and is uniquely positioned to meet your high-volume enrollment needs.
Cypress, CA
With 75,000 sq. ft. and 180 beds, the Cypress, CA facility is our
primary location for Phase 1 studies. This CPU is dedicated to Phase 1
and can provide housing for long-term, in-house trials, with services for
normal healthy volunteers, ethnobridging, and select patient population
trials.
This Phase 1 unit is uniquely positioned between the Orange County and Los Angeles areas (Los Angeles County – 9.3 MM, Orange County – 2.7 MM, Riverside/San Bernardino Counties – 3.1 MM), giving it the ability to strategically recruit from a diverse ethnic population of over 15 million.
Many healthy volunteers are also available for recruitment from multiple universities nearby. To ensure the success of your study’s enrollment, the Cypress Phase 1 clinical trial unit’s active outreach team aids community clinical research education and augments our overall patient recruitment efforts.
