The CTI CRC Phase I unit is a state-of-the-art facility designed specifically to conduct early phase clinical pharmacology trials. Additionally, the Phase I unit is just minutes from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio and its surrounding suburbs, thus providing convenient access to a large metropolitan population.
