About VitaNova
A Houston site, founded by clinical research professionals, 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 patients first. Every interaction reflects that, from waiting-room signage to consent conversations to study close-out.
