TriNetX
TriNetX is a powerful cloud-based platform that connects researchers with real-time, global clinical trial data, enabling faster, more precise patient recruitment, feasibility analysis, and trial design. At SUNY Downstate, we’ve integrated TriNetX to support our investigators in advancing clinical research with actionable insights from real-world data.
Key Features:
- Patient Recruitment & Feasibility: TriNetX enables investigators to quickly assess patient populations, estimate enrollment numbers, and streamline recruitment for clinical trials.
- Data Insights: Gain access to comprehensive, de-identified clinical and demographic data to refine study designs and improve patient selection.
- Collaboration: Connect with a network of healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and CROs to explore funding and partnership opportunities.
- Optimized Study Design: Leverage real-world data to design more efficient and effective clinical trials, saving time and reducing costs.
- Compliance & Security: TriNetX ensures HIPAA-compliant access to secure, de-identified data, safeguarding patient privacy.
Benefits for Downstate Investigators:
- Faster Recruitment & Study Launch: Save time by identifying eligible patients quickly and optimizing study designs based on real-world data.
- Increased Studies & Collaboration Opportunities: Expand research possibilities through connections with industry sponsors and partners.
Getting Started:
Downstate investigators can request access to TriNetX through the Clinical Trials Office under the Office of Research Administration (ORA) by emailing ClinicalTrials@Downstate.edu . Our team will guide you through the onboarding process, including training and ongoing support to help you make the most of this valuable tool.

Clinical Trials Symposium
The 1st Clinical Trials Symposium was held on October 25, 2023. The aims of the symposium were to strengthen and catalyze clinical trials on campus; hear about new and current research endeavors; foster new collaborations and strategize on how to improve clinical trial activity at Downstate.
A big ‘THANK YOU’ to our presenters and panelists: Drs. Marilyn Fraser, Chief Executive Officer, Arthur Ashe; Dr. Maryann Banerji, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Endocrinology; Dr. Steven Levine, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Neurology & Emergency Medicine and Executive Vice Chairman of Neurology; Dr. Thomas Wallach, Assistant Professor of Pediatric Gastroenterology; Kristen Fry, Director of the Clinical Vision Research Center at SUNY Optometry and Alishia Goodridge, AVP for Government and Constituent Relationships.
What We Do
The Clinical Trial division at SUNY Downstate works as a hub for pharmaceutical sponsored clinical trials, biomedical device trials as well as funded Investigator-Initiated clinical trials. The Clinical Trials Office supports investigators with clinical trial startup activities, logistical support, oversight of clinical trial operations, feasibility assessment, financial management of clinical trial activities and regulatory support.
The study workflow was developed in response to the researchers to better navigate the research infrastructure of SUNY Downstate.
Research Pharmacy
Our full-service research pharmacy with a dedicated research pharmacist provides our Principal Investigators with broad range of services for their clinical trial needs. For clinical trials that involve drugs and investigational products, our research pharmacy can provide services like:
- Patient randomization;
- Secure storage of pharmaceutical and biological materials;
- Preparation and dispensation of study medication;
- Drug accountability documentation;
- And much more.
Request a Clinical Research Administrator or Clinical Research Coordinator
If you are doing a clinical trial and need a CRA or CRC, we can on-board one for you. The associated salary charges will be applied to your award.
Need Clinical Space for your trial?
The mission of the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is to provide a clinical space and other support for clinical and translational scientists who conduct human subject research. Translational research beginning at the laboratory bench that leads to clinical studies performed at the CTSC should aim to translate basic scientific discoveries into novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods that improve health care. Collaborations between basic and clinical scientists are encouraged.
