Center Overview
Created in 1996, our research division has seen remarkable growth and success over the past ten years. As we gained experience and expertise, we branched out into various areas of urological studies. Currently, the Urology San Antonio-Center for Clinical Trials is a full service multi-specialty research site dedicated to helping pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations accelerate the drug development process through quality care and accurate data. Our goal is to exceed enrollment quotas while providing the highest quality patient care. Our track record shows that we excel in studies related to prostate cancer (all stages), bladder cancer, incontinence (both stress and urge), impotence, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and urinary tract infections. We have a wealth of experience with both drug and device studies.
We see research as a unique opportunity for our patients to receive cutting edge medicine and the highest quality of specialty care at no cost.
The Urology San Antonio-Center for Clinical Trials has experience in all phases of clinical research.
