About Us
Our Story
NextStage Clinical Research was founded on the principles of trust, relationships, and identifying disruptive solutions to better healthcare for patients around the world. Our true focus is to bring hope, opportunity, and innovative research options to patients delivered through the hands of world-class physicians in their own backyard.
Our mission is to connect top physician groups and their patients to clinical solutions that foster improved health and innovation.
The Problem
Finding the right patient who meets specific criteria for clinical trial enrollment can be very challenging and costly. Drugs, Medical Devices, and Biotechnologies take years to develop and significant amounts of investment and time to bring to market.
Most physicians around do not have the infrastructure, support staff, or experience to handle the critical responsibilities along with the rigorous needs required to execute a clinical trial effectively.
The Solution
Our integrated research platform provides a solution to address the concerns of the patient, facilitate meaningful research opportunities for physicians and enable trust where it should matter most-the physician-patient relationship.
Our talented team of leading PIs, significant database of diverse patients, and wide-reaching therapeutic indications including Pain, Orthopedics, Spine, Cardiovascular Disease, Neurology, Dermatology, Metabolic, Family Medicine, and Vaccines, among others, allow us to meet the needs of many close to home while having a global impact.
