What to Expect
World Class Science
The Cetero Research facility in Toronto, Ontario is a leader in clinical research. We perform studies in a number of therapeutic areas – with a specialty in allergy and respiratory research. Our specially-designed facilities enable us to conduct research trials into treatments for seasonal allergies (ie. grass, trees, ragweed, etc.), perennial allergies (ie. dust, mold), asthma, and dry eye at any time of year, regardless of allergen concentrations outside.
We offer state-of-the-art, custom-built rooms that look and feel similar to a small movie theatre, complete with a movie screen. Participants are exposed to allergens that are circulated in the room in precisely controlled quantities. These studies tend to last a few hours, and participants are usually tested both before and after exposure to the allergen.
Our clinical research professionals are dedicated to ensuring a safe, pleasant and comfortable experience for all of our study participants. Our Principal Investigators are directly involved with each study, and work with the clinical team to ensure participant safety and continuous participant monitoring.
Walk-in and Overnight Studies.
The clinical studies we run are a mix of studies that just require day visits to our facility and studies where participants spend the night in one of the semi-private bedroom suites in our 76-bed clinic. If you have to sleep over, we will provide fresh linen, clean towels and wholesome meals and snacks.
