Research Testing for Clinical Trials
The hospital laboratories may be asked to participate in research studies in several ways:
- Perform laboratory tests on patient samples, on animal samples, or on other materials, such as solutions or devices
- "Spin and save" samples for research studies
- Provide excess clinical samples--with or without patient identifiers--to researchers
Note: all human studies require HIC approval - Provide test result data
Procedures for Initiating Studies
A. Billing Instructions and T-Account Request
B. Human Studies
C. Non-Human Studies
D. Pricing only
E. Phlebotomy only
Approval
Allow two weeks for pricing-only requests and three to four weeks for approval of research studies.
Participation
Laboratory participation is not guaranteed, but will depend on both study requirements and laboratory resources. A Clinical Laboratory Manager may contact you to determine feasibility or work out the study logistics.
