Clinical Research Services for Woodland Hills Residents

Woodland Hills residents seeking cutting-edge medical treatments and the opportunity to advance scientific discovery now have a trusted local research site. Valley Family Medicine, your urgent care center based in San Fernando, proudly extends its Clinical Research Services to the Woodland Hills community. We conduct IRB-approved clinical trials across a broad range of therapeutic areas, offering eligible participants no-cost access to investigational medications, vaccines, and medical devices. Whether you have a chronic health condition or simply want to contribute to the future of medicine, call us at 818-774-0955 or walk in to learn about current studies enrolling Woodland Hills volunteers.

Our clinical research program is built on a foundation of safety, transparency, and community engagement. Every study is reviewed by an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure that participant rights are protected and that risks are minimized. Our dedicated research team—including experienced clinical research coordinators and board-certified principal investigators—guides volunteers through every step: initial pre-screening over the phone, a thorough informed consent process, a comprehensive baseline medical evaluation, scheduled treatment visits, and follow-up care. Participants receive all study-related medical services at no cost, including physical examinations, laboratory testing (blood work, urinalysis), EKGs, diagnostic imaging, and the investigational product. Many studies also offer stipends for time, travel, and parking to reduce any burden.

Woodland Hills residents can join trials addressing conditions that affect our community. Our current and upcoming portfolio includes studies for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity and weight management, asthma, COPD, osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, migraine headaches, atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, and infectious diseases such as COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and shingles. We also conduct vaccine clinical trials and studies focused on preventive medicine, including cardiovascular risk reduction, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and metabolic syndrome. By participating, you gain access to potential breakthrough therapies years before they reach the market, while receiving close medical monitoring from our team.

For research sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs), Valley Family Medicine offers a high-quality, patient-centered site with rapid enrollment, diverse patient populations from Woodland Hills and the surrounding San Fernando Valley, and excellent retention rates. We deliver meticulous source documentation, strict protocol adherence, and timely adverse event reporting.
