Our Philadelphia, PA Studies
This location is a screening center only. The actual studies will be conducted at the Marlton clinic. Free transportation is available from the Philadelphia location or a location of your choice (home, train station, etc.) to the Marlton clinic. A screening center is where initial questionnaires and assessments are done to determine whether a volunteer qualifies for further participation in a clinical trial. It is staffed by qualified medical and study personnel. To speak with us, click here.

Our study participants are providing the most valuable information we have, but we never forget that each participant is a person.
