Spartanburg and Greer Ear, Nose, Throat &amp; Allergy has a fully integrated clinical research site located within our Spartanburg office. Our goal is to provide patients with an opportunity to participate in clinical trials that may benefit their health care needs while advancing the development of new medicines and therapies. We conduct Phase II, III, and IV clinical trials in the areas of ear, nose, throat, audiology, hearing and allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drug and device testing begins with extensive research, which can involve years of preliminary tests on human and animal cells. If these initial tests succeed, researchers send the data to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval to continue research and testing in humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following steps are then taken into consideration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Data submitted from investigators, who seek approval from the FDA<\/li><li>Pending FDA approval before continuing to each next phase<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Safety is Our Priority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Participant safety is our greatest concern when any patient volunteers for a clinical trial. The sponsors of our trials have written protocols that our physicians review extensively. The Food and Drug Administration oversees each clinical trial, and an Institutional Review Board reviews each study protocol and ensures the rights and safety of each volunteer are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about our clinical trials, please call our Research Dept. at <a href=\"tel:+18642781420\" data-type=\"tel\" data-id=\"tel:+18642781420\">(864) 278-1420<\/a> or email: <a href=\"mailto:jcarey@spartanburgent.com\">jcarey@spartanburgent.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinical Trials For Our Patients Spartanburg and Greer Ear, Nose, Throat &amp; Allergy is committed to the scientific advancement of medicine and the development of promising new medical treatments.
