![]() “Some patients who go into clinical studies have tried many commercially available options before unsuccessfully, so to have new investigational options to pursue gives them hope.” “It’s exciting to participate in the work that’s done before a medication gets to market and help it get there,” said Anne Hartig, managing pharmacist at the UNLV Student Health Center Pharmacy. UNLV is kicking off seven clinical studies requiring the support of the new investigational pharmacy. The facility will dispense medications and devices that are in the research and testing phase - positioning UNLV as the proving ground they need to someday become the potentially life-changing solutions that patients can easily obtain. With the launch of its own investigational pharmacy within the Student Health Center, UNLV will now play a role in that process. Medications and medical devices available to consumers today first had to be vetted through a lengthy process involving pharmaceutical manufacturers, researchers, medical professionals, and pharmacies.
