Roy J Peters, MD, CPI, Chief Medical OfficerAt PMR, we bring together doctors, pharmacists, physician assistants, and certified clinical research professionals who are skilled in running complex Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4 studies. Our staff not only has strong credentials in clinical research but also deep experience in everyday patient care, which means participants receive thoughtful attention throughout their involvement. Every study we conduct is overseen by a physician, and all protocols follow the guidelines set by regulatory authorities like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Our location in the Piedmont Triad allows us to draw from a diverse patient population of more than 1.6 million people from High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and surrounding communities. This diversity is a valuable asset to our sponsors, as it helps ensure that research results reflect real-world patient populations. Whether a study focuses on a common condition or targets a specialized subgroup, our access to a broad pool of potential participants supports dependable enrollment and meaningful data.
What sets PMR apart is our thoughtful approach to every aspect of clinical research. We combine modern operational systems with a personal, patient-centered philosophy. Every participant receives clear, friendly communication about what clinical research involves, what the study will require, and what to expect at each step. We make sure participants know they can withdraw from a study at any time if they choose, and that they will be treated with respect throughout their participation. This emphasis on transparency and comfort builds trust and encourages participants to stay engaged, which in turn helps generate higher-quality data for sponsors.
One of the ways we support participants is by ensuring that no insurance is required to take part in a clinical trial. Qualified individuals often receive study-related healthcare and medications at no cost, and many studies also provide financial compensation for time and travel. This lowers barriers to participation, expands access, and acknowledges the valuable contribution participants make to advancing medical research.
At Peters Medical Research, we believe high-quality data and compassionate care go hand in hand. When participants feel informed, respected, and supported, research moves forward with integrity—and that ultimately benefits everyone.
Sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) choose to work with PMR because we understand the challenges of clinical research and help solve them effectively. Our capabilities cover a wide range of study types—including safety, dose-ranging, pivotal Phase 3 work, post-marketing studies, and both observational and interventional research. We support studies in many areas, including gastroenterology, cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders, sleep medicine, neurology, pulmonology, dermatology, psychiatry, pain management, and more.
PMR also enhances the trial experience with features that support sponsors and monitors alike. Sponsors benefit from a well-organized site with dedicated spaces for monitor visits, secure systems for data handling, and staff trained to assist with both operational needs and participant care. We also provide support from registered pharmacists and data entry specialists to ensure that all aspects of a study are handled professionally.
Importantly, participant safety and ethical conduct are core to how we do business. Our processes are designed to protect participants at every step, and we maintain careful oversight to ensure compliance with all regulatory and safety standards. Accurate reporting, clear communication, and respectful treatment are non-negotiable principles in every trial we run.

By combining strong operational systems with experienced clinical teams and diverse patient access, we help sponsors generate reliable results without losing sight of the people behind the data.
Sponsors who partner with PMR gain more than a clinical site—they gain a collaborative team that values reliability, participant engagement, and compassionate care. Whether your organization is running a small Phase II study or a large multicenter Phase IV trial, PMR brings the operational experience, patient access, and responsiveness needed to keep research moving forward efficiently.
For participants, PMR provides an opportunity to play an active, meaningful role in advancing healthcare. Many people choose to take part in clinical research because it gives them access to new treatments and healthcare support before these options are widely available. Participants also contribute to improving care for others, and our team recognizes and values the important role they play.
At Peters Medical Research, we are committed to supporting both sponsors and participants throughout the clinical research journey. We deliver dependable results, maintain high standards for safety and ethics, and provide a participant-friendly experience that enhances engagement and data quality. By choosing PMR, sponsors gain a trusted partner in research, and participants gain a supportive environment where their contributions help shape the future of medicine.
