About VitaNova

A Houston site, founded by clinicians, accountable to patients.

We started VitaNova with a simple conviction: the quality of clinical research data is inseparable from the quality of clinical care.  We've run more than 50 trials with that same standard — and we've never moved away from it.

What we believe

Science first

Each clinical trial is led by a dedicated Principal Investigator and research staff with several years of trial experience in the therapeutic area.

Operational obsession

We measure ourselves on activation speed, query rates, deviation rates, and screen-fail accuracy. We share these metrics openly with sponsors.

Patient dignity

Our participants are neighbors, parents, and patients first. Every interaction reflects that — from waiting-room signage to consent conversations.
