Why we are the best:
PRA Trials is located in a diverse community in Los Angeles and is constantly building not only our name brand through community grass roots marketing but we increase our patient database every day with continual advertising in print, radio, and internet along with numerous promotional events. For each study we develop a marketing plan by determining our target market, buying specific media used by that market, and participating in charity walks, community events, fundraisers, parades ect. Our "Nordstrom's" approach to patient care has been a huge part of our success in terms of patient retention and referrals. We feel that developing a relationship with our patients, maintaining a strong level of trust, and following up with them through phone calls and a thank you cards has been essential.
When you refer a patient to us for participation in a clinical trial, you are providing them with the most current and advanced medical care possible. Before a patient is enrolled in a trial, we review the study with them in detail and encourage they discuss it with friends, family and their family physician. It is the patient's choice to participate and there are no costs for inquiring about a trial. If the patient decides to enroll in a clinical trial, they maintain the right to withdraw from the trial at any time for any reason with no consequences to the medical treatment they normally receive or their eligibility to participate in other trials. When a patient participates in a trial, we inform their family physician of their involvement.
