Research subjects are the individuals who participate in a research project. At CRU, we strive to provide the best care possible to our study participants. They have frequent one-on-one contact with the research nurses. In addition to coordinating their study-related care, the nurses frequently serve as a liaison between the study doctor and the primary care physician. If the patient chooses, most study-related procedures and results can be forwarded to the primary care physician to avoid having duplicate tests completed.
 
Research patients can reach nurses at either location:

Corporate-Sponsored Studies:
 
1. Type 2 Diabetes Study, Dr. Frank Schwartz, Primary Investigator
BCB106 study: A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group multi-center study to compare the glycemic effect, safety, and tolerability of study drug to those of sitagliptin and pioglitazone (Actos) in subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin only. 12 visits with 2 phone calls (26 week).
 
2. Diabetes Prevention Study, Dr. Frank Schwartz, Primary Investigator
