General Info
At Coastal Metabolic Research Centre, we believe that all patients are entitled to quality care. We investigate promising medications that may drastically improve the quality of life of those living with chronic metabolic and other medical conditions. We ensure the safety, privacy, and integrity of all our patients throughout the clinical trial process. Our actions are guided by the protocols set forth by the Sponsors and Ronald H. Chochinov M.D., Research Centre Director. At Coastal Metabolic Research Centre, Inc., we partner with pharmaceutical companies and patients to investigate the effectiveness of medications that are currently in development. Most of the clinical trials that we oversee involve medications for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. However, we also conduct cardiovascular studies and occasionally investigate other metabolic disorders like Cushing's Syndrome (excess cortisol levels) and Hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels). We are in the process of expanding into other areas of medicine. Our trials are typically in Phases 2-4. This means that the drug has already been tested at least once, but the Sponsors need to know more before it is made available to the public. Phase 4 trials involve FDA approved medications. Participation in our trials is voluntary and completely free of charge, and many of our sponsors offer compensation to our patients.
