Patient Demographics

Our research database is comprised of more than 5,000 patients, with the ability to track and sort by patient traits and medications.

The research database is comprised of 90 percent private practice referrals and 10 percent word of mouth. The patient population of Sherman is naive to participating in clinical trials, as there is no competing research site in the Texas-Oklahoma area. The positive attitudes towards research and the demand for it within this community is the driving force behind our prodigious database.

Our facility utilizes recruitment specialists on site to continue to build our database with social media, Google and website traffic. IRB-approved, study-specific advertisements, as well as general site advertisements are used to boost recruitment success.
