The Austin Institute for Clinical Research is a dermatology-focused organization that conducts Phase II to IV clinical trials with an emphasis on patient safety and data quality. Based in Pflugerville, Texas, it was established in 2013 and emphasizes good clinical practices and a safety-first mindset to generate reliable data for Sponsors and contract research organizations. The organization prioritizes efficient study initiation through rapid turnaround of contracts and regulatory documents, while maintaining ongoing training for coordinators and investigators in Good Clinical Practices and FDA regulations. Most subjects are recruited directly from the principal investigator's dermatology practices, with local or central advertising used when needed, and the organization aims to meet or exceed recruitment goals. It uses electronic health records to support recruitment and operates a trial management system to administer trials, while maintaining familiarity with standard data capture methods and high data transfer capability.
