Medical research group opens downtown branch
By Ccrol Hamh
Dully Ncbraakan Staff Writer
Harris Laboratories, Inc., a re
search corporation for pharma
ceuticals and new products not
yet released on the consumer
market, has opened a new down
town branch office in the garden
level of the Atrium, 13th and N
streets.
Charles Ryan, director of Har
ris Lab's clinical research depart
ment, and Donna Moore, the coor
dinator for dermatolcgical
studies, said the new location will
help to get more people involved
in the company's studies.
"We wanted to open up a loca
tion that would be close to busi
ness people," Ryan said. "It is also
close to campus and we encour
age student involvement as well."
At the new branch, only stud
ies Involving testing samples of
new products, such as perfume
and toilet paper for detection of
chemical irritants to the skin, will
be conducted, the two said.
Participants Involved in a cur
rent study will be paid $40 for
making 13 visits to the office,
with each visit taking approxi
mately two to five minute3, Ryan
and Moore said.
Recently, 150 people signed up
to participate in a study during
the new lab's first week of busi
ness, Ryan said.
"We get a good variety of people
who take part in the studies,"
Ryan said. "Plus, we often have
the same persons participate in
several studies."
Moore said those who want to
sign up for participating are
screened for the particular study
involved. The current study under
way at the Atrium is one that
checks for skin irritants in new
products coming onto the market.
"Any active skin diseases
(rashes), a history of skin cancer
or a diabetic using insulin injec
tion," Moore said, "will be disqual
ifying factors for the skin patch
tests."
Usually, Ryan said, members of
organizations like campus frater
nities or church organizations
participate in a study as a charity
project donating all the mon$y
to a local charity group.
In addition to skin patch tests,
other studies include pharmaceu
tical testing. A new study begin
ning Oct. 1 will test a drug that
may promote hair growth for
bald men.
Ryan said the study i3 for men
ranging in age from 19 to 55. Age
limits in studies are determined
by the company wanting the drug
to be tested and by the Food and
Drug Administration, Ryan said.
"We don't use women in most
pharmaceutical studies," Ryan
said, "because the FDA doesn't
allow us to. Many of the pharma
ceuticals havent been tested to
see if they might cause birth de
fects whik we're testing them.
Plus, a woman may be pregnant
but her lab tests still turn out
negative." ,
