Phase I studies help researchers determine how a drug works, by understanding its clinical pharmacology. Having conducted over 2000 Phase I studies, ERG is known throughout the industry for excelling in these trials. Most Phase I studies are conducted in normal healthy volunteers (NHV); NHVs are also used as a cohort of a Phase I study in metabolic, neurologic, psychiatric, endocrine, and cardiac disorders. We have access to a wide range of healthy subject profiles, and, whatever your compound, we stand ready to help you explore its clinical pharmacology.

At least 40 million Americans suffer from chronic, long-term sleep disorders each year, and an additional 20 million experience occasional sleeping problems. ERG’s specialized sleep labs and expert staff are dedicated to partnering in both early- and late-phase sleep trials to advance new therapeutics to market.
ERG also works with clients who are assessing sleep disturbance as a secondary outcome measure in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Examples include sleep disturbance in schizophrenia, wakefulness in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and insomnia related to major depressive disorder. ERG is uniquely positioned to conduct these complex inpatient trials given the flexibility of the facilities, the customized PSG bedrooms, and the extensive training of both the technicians and the clinical/medical teams.
