Experimental Research / Drug Availability

NeuroCare Center is a member of Integrated Neuroscience Consortium (INC), a group of research health care centers that are assisting the pharmaceutical industry in the development of new treatments for neurologic and psychiatric disorders. After new treatments have been thoroughly researched in animals, the Federal Drug Administration reviews the information collected and gives the companies permission to begin research in human volunteers. These human volunteers are patients with the disorders who are interested in assisting in the process of determining the safety and usefulness of these new drugs.

Because NeuroCare Center is a member of INC, we can make these new investigational treatments available to the selected volunteers before they are approved for general marketing. The advantage to the volunteers is that they have early access to the new treatments, the drug most often is provided free of charge, the health care of the volunteers is closely monitored, and some or all of the health care may be provided free to the volunteer. Reimbursement is sometimes available.

All research that is performed with human volunteers is regulated and closely monitored by the Office for Protection for Research Risks (OPRR) and through organizations called Institution Review Boards (IRB). Each volunteer is provided a detailed description of the proposed activities, risks, and benefits associated with participation in the research.

Through these studies, NeuroCare Center can provide treatments formerly available only at major universities and research centers. Our center will be participating in research on a variety of treatments.
