About us
We are a full-service office that promotes investigator-driven, high-quality clinical research. In collaboration with colleagues within the Veterinary Health System, we offer clinical trials to client-owned animals across a variety of small and large animal services.
Clinical trials are designed to evaluate new diagnostics, therapeutics, or approaches to treating illnesses and are overseen by University ethics committees, including the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and the Clinical Review Board. All clinical trials are held to the highest ethical standards and aim to provide unparalleled care to our patients.
Most clinical trials take place at CSU’s Veterinary Hospital and Education Complex and Johnson Family Equine Hospital, and our staff work to ensure open and efficient communication between the clinical trial team, clients, and referring veterinarians throughout the study period and beyond.
We’re here to help investigators, industry sponsors, and collaborators develop and execute clinical trials.
