Healthy Volunteers

Austin, Texas

PPD's Phase I clinic in Austin, Texas, conducts clinical studies to determine how new medicines act in the bodies of healthy volunteers, specifically how the compound is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted. This is not testing to determine if the medicine works.

Our dental pain research clinic in Austin, Texas, conducts medically supervised studies to evaluate new drugs for dental pain relief, specifically wisdom teeth extraction.

Clinical Trial Volunteers

Pre-existing Medical Conditions
(United States Only)

PPD conducts clinical trials around the world that involve the testing of new drugs or delivery methods to determine safety and effectiveness. These clinical trials primarily require individuals with specific medical conditions, such as diabetes.

However, some trials – for example, vaccine trials – require healthy individuals. Clinical trials are conducted by doctors and scientists, and are regulated by government agencies. Volunteers for these trials may have access to treatments before they become widely available.
