Delivering reliable patient access, experienced investigators, and efficient trial execution across two dedicated research locations in the greater Houston area
Gulf Coast Clinical Research operates two dedicated locations serving the greater Houston area -- a multi-specialty research center in Houston and a specialized nephrology practice in Katy, Texas. As a trusted clinical research site for sponsors and CROs, our teams consistently deliver quality source data with timely entry across both sites.
Gulf Coast Clinical Research is part of ECN Clinical, a leading group of research sites dedicated to high-quality clinical trials across the United States.
Gulf Coast Clinical Research brings hands-on expertise across eight therapeutic areas spanning both locations. Our Houston site covers a broad multi-specialty range while our Katy site delivers focused nephrology clinical research site capabilities, including Chronic Kidney Disease, ESRD, Diabetic Nephropathy, and dialysis care. As an established CKD clinical trial site in Texas, our Katy investigators bring board-certified nephrology expertise to every renal study we support.
Our patient recruitment infrastructure combines technology, community relationships, and dedicated outreach to deliver consistent enrollment performance across every study we support.
Gulf Coast Clinical Research serves a diverse adult and geriatric population ranging from 18 to over 80 years of age across both our Houston and Katy locations. Our 40-mile catchment radius and established referral networks spanning primary care physicians, endocrinologists, cardiologists, and dialysis centers support consistent clinical trial patient recruitment in Houston and the surrounding region. With an 85% screen-to-enroll rate and 91% patient retention rate, our clinical research patient recruitment infrastructure delivers reliable enrollment performance across every study we support.
Gulf Coast Clinical Research serves a genuinely diverse patient population across both Houston and Katy, reflecting the multicultural communities of the greater Houston region. With 42% Hispanic representation and a broad demographic mix across White, African-American, and Asian communities, our combined patient base helps sponsors meet FDA diversity requirements and build more inclusive development programs across every therapeutic area we support.
Diversity in clinical research is a commitment to the communities we serve. Our sites are chosen and structured to reflect the communities they serve, ensuring every study benefits from genuine local representation, trust, and accessibility.
