What does clinical research at Valley Family Medicine involve? Our research division conducts studies on new medications, vaccines, medical devices, and diagnostic tests before they become available to the general public. All studies are approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure participant safety and ethical conduct. Participants receive no-cost study-related medical care, including physical exams, laboratory testing, and investigational products. Some studies also offer compensation for time and travel. Our experienced clinical research coordinators guide you through every step—from initial screening to informed consent to study visits.

Why participate in a clinical trial? You gain access to potentially groundbreaking treatments years before they hit the market. You receive close medical monitoring from our research team. And you help advance medical science for future generations. Current and upcoming studies at our San Fernando site may include trials for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, asthma, chronic pain, dermatologic conditions, and infectious diseases like COVID-19 and influenza. We also conduct vaccine trials and studies focused on preventive medicine.

For research sponsors, Valley Family Medicine offers a dedicated, patient-friendly site with high retention rates, rapid recruitment, and quality data. Our urgent care setting provides access to a diverse patient population in the San Fernando Valley. We handle all aspects of trial execution, including subject screening, informed consent, protocol procedures, adverse event reporting, and source documentation.
