What types of study schedules are available?
We currently offer a variety of study opportunities. The majority of these studies require overnight stays in our clinic. You can choose between:Weekend Schedules- a weekend study typically checks in after 5:00 P.M. on Friday and checks out before 9:00 A.M. on Monday.
Weekday Schedules- a weekday study is less than five consecutive days in our clinic and includes at least one full day of confinement between Monday and Friday.
Long-term Schedules- a long-term study is a stay of five or more consecutive days.

Do I need to have a medical condition to participate in a study?
The type of studies we conduct generally require healthy normal participants, therefore we are not looking for individuals with medical conditions. The research we conduct is not intended to determine the effectiveness of a medication. Our studies are being run to determine how a participant's body metabolizes a medication. We specifically track how the medication is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted in the bodies of healthy normal participants.Are there a maximum number of studies I can participate on?
A participant is only allowed to participate in one study at a time. Following completion of each study there is a minimum waiting period before a participant can take part in another study. The waiting period is a minimum of one month and is referred to as the "wash-out" period.How do I qualify to participate in a study?
Each study has a specific set of qualifications that need to be met in order for a participant to take part in a particular study. Here are some general participant qualifications:Acceptable Address
Participants must have an acceptable address in order to participate in a study. This permanent mailing address must be registered with the U. S. Postal Office and be within a certain proximity of the Celerion site.
Acceptable Phone Number
Participants must have a valid direct phone number in order to participate in a study. Without a direct phone number, it is difficult to relay study information and confirm appointments. No message numbers are accepted.
Normal Healthy Population
Participants must meet specific criteria in order to participate in a study. In general, we look for participants that are on no medications, meet the study's medical safety guidelines and also fall within the acceptable age, height and weight ranges.

What is the role of Celerion in drug development?
The Food and Drug Administration requires prescription and over-the-counter drugs be thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness before being marketed. Celerion conducts clinical research on behalf of drug development companies to help determine how long it takes a drug to work while evaluating any potential side effects of taking the medication. This ensures that these compounds meet established quality standards and that the public's safety is protected. |  |
