Praxis Awarded Patient Recruitment Contract for HCV Research Program
Brentwood, Tenn., March 3, 2009-Praxis, a company specializing in centralized patient recruitment for clinical research studies, will provide patient recruitment services to a major pharmaceutical company for a national study on the Hepatitis C Virus. The study explores an investigational drug’s effectiveness as a mono-treatment as well as an add-on treatment option for the condition affecting almost 4 million Americans.
