Clinical research at Greater Boston Urology
Advancing urologic care through research
At Greater Boston Urology, clinical research is central to how we care for patients. By participating in clinical trials, our physicians give patients early access to emerging treatments, diagnostic tools, and therapies — often years before they become widely available. Every new medication or medical device must first pass through rigorous, well-controlled studies to prove it’s safe and effective, and our research program is part of that process.
Our team’s involvement in this work isn’t just about staying current with the field. It reflects our broader commitment: bringing patients the most advanced, evidence-based urologic care possible, while upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and patient protection.
Clinical research team
A program built on experience
Greater Boston Urology brings together a large, multi-site team of urologists, advanced practice clinicians, and support staff, giving us access to a broad and diverse patient population. That scale allows us to identify eligible candidates and move trials — including Phase II and Phase III studies — forward efficiently, without compromising the quality of care or oversight at any step.
Our research activities are overseen by physicians with specialized training and years of experience serving as Principal Investigators, supported by a dedicated team of clinical research coordinators. All participating locations share a unified electronic medical record system, built with research-specific documentation tools to keep every study organized, accurate, and compliant.
Our dedicated research space is equipped for the demands of clinical trials — including secure medication storage, specialized diagnostic equipment, and locked storage for source documents — so that every study is conducted to protocol from start to finish.
