Participants receive thorough, professional care and monitoring throughout the duration of the trial. Trials may be conducted on an outpatient and/or inpatient basis, depending on the protocol for each study. Each study has its own duration. Some may last weeks, while others may extend over several years depending on specific protocols.
Dr. Yadalam and the staff of Lake Charles Clinical Trials have conducted more than 45 industry-sponsored clinical studies over the past five years. There are typically between 12 and 15 studies underway at Lake Charles Clinical Trials during any given time.
