Clinical Pharmacology of Miami
About Clinical Pharmacology of Miami
Clinical Pharmacology of Miami (CPMI) was founded to serve a real need for a high quality clinical research unit. We have the experience and facility to conduct safe, precise, well controlled clinical research with new and existing drugs.The dedication of the staff at CPMI led by Dr Lasseter, Vice President and Medical Director, Stacy Dilzer, President, and Cooper Shamblen, VP of Clinical Operations, is evident in the success of CPMI. Together they have a strong clinical resume with over 100+ years of research experience
Dr. Lasseter has been Principal Investigator of approximately 1800 clinical studies (over past 40+ years) of the safety and efficacy and mechanisms of action of Phase I, II and III drugs as well as bioavailability and pharmacokinetic studies in normal subjects and in special populations. Numerous clinical studies have been successfully audited by sponsoring institution audit teams and by Food and Drug Administration Audit Teams. Virtually all studies have been conducted under auspices of active IND applications and approximately 60 successful NDA’s have contained data generated by these studies. These include:
Acrovastine, alendronate, amiloride, amrinone, arbutamine, atenolol, benzazepril, candesartan cilexetil, carteolol, caspofungin, ciprofloxacin, dofetilide, enalapril, encainide, eplerenone, recombinant erythropoietin, etodolac, famotidine, felodipine, finasteride, flecanide, fosinopril, galantamine, grepafloxacin, indapamide, irbesartan, leucovorin, lisinopril, losartan, meropenem, milrinone, moexepril, montelukast, nefazodone, nimodipine, nisoldipine, nitroprusside, nizatidine, oxaprozin, penbutalol, pinacidil, piperacillin, piroxicam, prazosin, ramipril, 13-cis retinoic acid, rofecoxib, sinemet CR, sirolimus, sitagliptin, sulindac, tegaserod, timolol, terazocin, tocanide, trandolapril, valsartan, venlafaxin, zafirlukast, zolmitriptan and zolpidem.
Our Facility
The CPMI Research Unit and location was carefully considered. Our facility was meticulously custom designed and constructed, employing all the knowledge of our experience. We are convinced that our 120 bed research unit is “State of the Art”. We are equipped with the experience, expertise and the research unit facility to meet the individual needs of each sponsor and research protocol. The 24,000 square foot facility is not a hospital, it is not a hotel, it is not an ICU, but it is a custom designed Clinical Pharmacology Research Unit. CPMI uses a validated environmental monitoring system to ensure the quality and integrity of all pharmacy room temperatures, refrigerated / frozen drugs and samples stored within the CPMI research facility. Security Cameras are stratigically placed throughout the CPMI research facility, both inside and outside, to monitor and record all activity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Entry and Exit doors, including fire exits, are alarmed with audible sirens at all times to secure controlled access to and from CPMI. Separation between volunteer inpatient and outpatient areas are strictly secured with locked doors accessible only by staff members with swipe-cards / push-button security codes. Clinical Pharmacology of Miami is protected by a stand-by 40k watt natural gas generator. In the event of loss of Florida Power & Light power to the building, the strong, but quiet generator automatically detects the loss and starts providing power to all essential portions of the facility. This includes: all the refrigerators, freezers, centrifuges, and security monitoring equipment. The natural gas supply allows the generator to work without interruption for an extended period of time.- Screening Department / Interview / Exam Rooms / Prescreening lab & more
