Welcome to Sunrise Clinical Research

Established in 1999, Universal Medical Concepts’ research division is a national site for the clinical drug research required to develop new drug therapies and treatments for specific medical conditions. Research is conducted in three of our state-of-the-art Broward County facilities and establishes safe ways to discover new treatments that ultimately help improve the quality of life for many patients.

Before a pharmaceutical company can bring a new drug to the general public, the drug must be tested extensively to establish its safety, efficacy, and possible side effects. Each year, working with the FDA, thousands of volunteers participate in clinical drug testing studies conducted by Sunrise Clinical Research, the research arm of Universal Medical Concepts and one of a family of Sunrise practices including the well-known Sunrise Medical Group. This large scale testing provides pharmaceutical companies and the FDA with a more thorough understanding of each drug's effectiveness, benefits, and the range of possible adverse reactions. Of benefit to the volunteers is the chance to have access to promising drugs long before these compounds are approved for the marketplace. Participants receive excellent care from physicians and staff during the course of the study, usually at no cost to themselves or their insurance companies.

These volunteers are an important link in the long chain of Florida clinical drug research and testing for the development of new medications. Past and current studies include treatments for Alzheimer’s, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Migraine headaches, Stroke, Diabetic neuropathy, chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, memory loss and others.

Sunrise Clinical Research is actively engaged in cutting-edge drug research and we welcome your participation. For more detailed information about the clinical trials at one of our Sunrise Clinical Research facilities, please click on the link to the left of this page.
