Clinical Research of Charleston

Clinical Research of Charleston is a pulmonology practice in Mt Pleasant, SC. The practice takes part in clinical research studies, and its work covers the testing of new drugs through the phases that precede marketing approval, from initial human studies in healthy volunteers through studies in patients who have the illness or disease the drug is intended to treat, and later studies of medications already approved for public use. Studies can be placebo controlled, and many are double blinded, so that neither the investigator nor the subject knows whether placebo or medication is given. Volunteers are told that a clinical research coordinator can review their medications and medical history to determine whether they qualify, and that an informed consent must be signed before participating. Each study has its own criteria, such as age, sex, and medical condition.

The practice sits on Von Kolnitz Rd, about 0.1 miles from James B Edwards Elementary School and about 0.2 miles from East Cooper Medical Center. Mathis Ferry Road is roughly 0.2 miles away, Shem Creek about 0.3 miles, and the Mark Clark Expressway about 0.3 miles. AMG Specialty Hospital Charleston is about 0.4 miles from the practice.
