Find a Research Site
Before anyone can take part in the COMPASS PWS study, the study team will need to determine if they are eligible. They will ask questions about the potential participant’s medical history and perform a health check-up, including medical tests such as blood tests.
For more information, and to find out if your loved one may be eligible to take part, please contact a study site using details listed in the map pins below, or submit your contact information using the form below. If you use the form, your contact information will be supplied to the Study Sponsor and someone will reach out to you about the study. As you can see from the map, there are many study sites located throughout North America.
The form is limited to residents of the United States and Canada who are over the age of 18. By submitting this form, you warrant that you are a resident of the United States or Canada and that you are over the age of 18.
