Center for Clinical Trials

Services Provided:  The Center for Clinical Trials (CCT) is a unit of the University of Maryland School of Medicine that brings together University investigators and sponsor organizations in order to place, conduct, and complete clinical research studies as efficiently and safely as possible. CCT serves as a one-stop, full-service resource for University investigators and industrial sponsors who are committed to performing the highest-quality clinical studies. CCT assists investigators in preparing for, implementing, and administering clinical studies, and also assists sponsors in placing and completing studies by facilitating contacts with University investigators and providing ongoing support and expertise in all study phases, from pre-study negotiation through project completion and reporting.

CCT serves all schools at the University of Maryland Baltimore campus in the initiation, administration, and close-out of any type of industry-sponsored clinical study (Phase I through Phase IV, as well as single-site, participating-site, and multiple-site studies). We have a pool of more than 1,500 faculty researchers in the professional schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy on which to draw, as well as some of the most advanced equipment and facilities of any academic medical center in the world. In addition, the University of Maryland Medical System is located in the Baltimore/Washington, DC, metropolitan area and is able to draw from a potential patient base of over five million people.
