Shining a Light on Clinical Research

Lumos Clinical Research Center is a medical research facility, located in the Bay area, in close proximity to Good Samaritan Hospital, San Jose CA. We are devoted to conducting studies to test new medications developed by our Sponsors for better and safer ways of treating different medical and psychiatric conditions.

Your participation in clinical research at Lumos enables us to present very useful data to the pharmaceutical companies who then assess the safety and effectiveness of new treatments before submission to the FDA for approval. Without patient participation, no newer and safer drugs would be available to you or your doctor. The process of testing through clinical trials ensures that only effective and safe drugs are approved.

Why participate, or what’s in it for me, you ask?
If you are eligible to participate you will get a detailed assessment, including a physical examination, ECG and blood tests. You may have access to new, cutting edge medical treatments, not yet available to the general public. Your care is supervised and monitored at no cost to you or your insurance company. You are also compensated, at each visit, for your time and travel. Above all, you, become part of an important process in approving or disapproving potentially new medical treatments.
We are in this together!
Our mission is to be part of the process for developing new and safe medications for patients and families in our community. Our vision, with your help, is to be recognized as the best clinical research center in the Bay Area and we will do that with core values of respect and compassion for our volunteer participants and adherence to good clinical practices.

I had a very good experience throughout my trial. The staff is very warm and welcoming. I would say the phlebotomist there do a wonderful job drawing blood as I am a person afraid of needle and I didn’t feel that pain. The study coordinator was very humble and patient. They made sure all my questions were answered well and were empathetic to my situation. I was anxious initially during my first visit but the doctor made be very comfortable and I was able ti share my concerns openly.

I had a year long clinical trial here, and was more than pleased with my experience and the staff. They are all friendly, professional, and kind individuals, always ensuring that I was comfortable. Everything that was tested and run was thoroughly explained to me, and I fully consented to. They remained transparent and honest throughout the whole process, which was reassuring. I never once had a negative experience here, and even looked forward to my appointments and talking to the staff. It is clear that they care about every one of their patients, as they are attentive and personable. I used to be terrified of blood draws, but the phlebotomists here are exceptional and to my surprise it never hurt. Half the time I didn’t even realize the needle was in my arm! I would definitely do another trial here if I had the opportunity!
