RCBM conducts FDA mandated research studies for the evaluation of investigational medications. These studies are undertaken to assess the safety and effectiveness of these medications. If in the aggregate the medications are deemed acceptable by the FDA, they are ultimately released to the general public.  Our research team works in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies to study medication-based treatments for various conditions. All of these studies are highly regulated by independent third parties.

Research studies offer an opportunity for volunteers to participate in clinical research that may improve their clinical condition. Besides being involved in ground breaking work, other benefits include: specialized care, psychological and laboratory testing, access to new medications before they become available to the public, and close monitoring by physician’s and  mental health professional’s. Our goal is to enhance what is known about medical treatment while offering the best possible care to our patients.

We are currently enrolling patients in the following trials:

• Major Depressive Disorder (Adults)
• Child, Adolescent and Adult ADHD

Please contact the Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine by calling (248) 608-8800 to learn more about our current studies.
