Concord Cardio-Renal Research Institute Launches

In a significant advancement for clinical research in cardio-renal-metabolic diseases, Panoramic Health and the West Coast Kidney Institute have inaugurated the Concord Cardio-Renal Research Institute in California. This cutting-edge facility aims to expedite the enrollment and execution of clinical trials targeting complex cardio-renal metabolic conditions.

Located in the heart of the Bay Area, the Concord Center is uniquely designed to support intricate study protocols, ensuring speed, consistency, and reliable data collection. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, the facility is perfectly situated to engage a clinically diverse patient population that is crucial for successful trials.

Purpose-built Infrastructure

The Concord Cardio-Renal Research Institute spans around 2,000 square feet, encompassing three dedicated examination rooms, capabilities for infusion therapies, pharmacokinetic sampling, lab processing, and secure storage for investigational drugs. Moreover, the site allows for extended patient observations and has been equipped to handle complex and early-stage study designs.

Situated alongside a multidisciplinary medical office, the center ensures immediate access to nephrology and cardiology services, plus nutritional counseling and higher acuity support when necessary. This design not only enhances patient safety but also streamlines the execution of clinical trials tailored for cardio-renal metabolic (CVRM) studies.

Leadership and Expertise

The research site is spearheaded by skilled investigators, including Dr. Edward Kim and Dr. Rohit Sharma, both board-certified nephrologists with vast experience in researching kidney and cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Michael Murphy contributes as the investigator for access- and device-related trials. According to Dr. Sharma, “Partnering with Panoramic Health allows us to bring a higher level of research capability to our patients and our community.” This collaboration is pivotal in connecting patients to innovative therapies while offering sponsors a dependable and high-quality research environment.

A Network of Excellence

The Concord Cardio-Renal Research Institute represents Panoramic Science’s third research site in the Bay Area and is part of an expanding network of over 20 research facilities across the United States. This growth enables sponsors to conduct trials more efficiently while upholding quality and clinical standards. Lisa Kiehne, the President of Panoramic Science, emphasizes that “We’re focused on connecting complex patients with the latest investigational therapies while addressing systemic enrollment challenges that hinder drug development.”
