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.
