Certified Research Associates
Certified Research Associates, is an affiliate of Smith Allergy & Asthma Specialists of Central NY. The Center was opened in June 2017 by founder Dr. Christopher Smith to assist with the evaluation of new medications, treatments, and protocols for allergies, asthma, COPD and vaccinations.
Currently, we are looking for volunteers for the following studies:
Lyme Vaccine Study:
What to expect
- If your child or teen is interested in participating, the study team may schedule a pre-study visit to determine if this study is a good fit for him/her.
- Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive the study vaccine or placebo (an injection that looks like the study vaccine but does not contain any active ingredients).
- Participants are 3 times more likely to receive the study vaccine than placebo. Participants, parents, and doctors will not know which has been assigned.
- Participants will receive 4 shots in the upper arm: 3 in the first 6 months, and a booster 1 year later.
- Participants will be enrolled for about 2 years, including 6 planned in-office visits and 2 follow-up phone calls.
- Participants may be reimbursed up to $1,276 for study-related expenses like travel.
