OVERVIEW
Apex Research Group (ARG) is a clinician-led clinical research site organization. We are committed to preserving the health and well-being of the general population by being a liaison between Sponsor companies, Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) and prospective clinical trial participants. We believe that improving access to clinical research is crucial for improving medical care and that broad representation in clinical trials is critical for the advancement of medicine for all.
Sponsors and CROs partner with us to develop effective solutions for disease prevention and to address unmet medical needs. Our infrastructure enables us to implement protocols for single-site studies or participate in large, complex, global studies in Phases I – IV in a wide range of therapeutic areas.
Apex Research Group is dedicated to researching diagnostics, medical devices and therapeutics used in preventive care and treatment. As a multi-specialty clinical site our facilities provide access to clinical labs as well as a wide array of medical and surgical equipment, thus enabling the conduct of Phase I-IV clinical trials.
With the singular goal of addressing unmet medical needs, we connect participants to clinical investigation and conduct studies on behalf of sponsors with promising investigational products in their pipelines that include vaccines, pharmaceutical medicines and medical devices. We are connected to several Urgent Care clinics throughout Sacramento and our network allows us to use practical recruitment approaches to reach a wide range of potential study participants, in order to fulfill study needs.
