   Folio Clinical Research is a Site Management Organization (SMO) based in southern California with 20 locations strategically scattered throughout 5 states and growing. We offer operational, regulatory and other centralized research support services for sites on industry-sponsored trials. We specialize in Phase I - IV urology and oncology trials in partnership with community physicians that treat thousands of patients each year. Our physician partners have participated as Principal and Sub-Investigators in a variety of studies for prostate cancer, bladder cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urinary tract infections, and overactive bladder, among others.

Folio has worked with many different sponsors, offering a highly efficient start-up process in stark contrast to academic institutions and hospitals. We offer sponsors access to a diverse patient population across our entire
