How many trials are recruiting in the Los Angeles area?
Cancer leads. In the same radius search, 1,511 recruiting studies matched an oncology keyword search: 46.8% of the local total and 21.4% of the 7,064 recruiting oncology studies in the US. The area's share of US studies is also high in dermatology (57 of 212) and gastroenterology (75 of 283), and lowest in pain (53 of 625).[1] Compare other states and regions.
| Area | the Los Angeles area | United States | Share of US |
|---|---|---|---|
| All conditions | 3,231 | 22,007 | 15% |
| Oncology | 1,511 | 7,064 | 21% |
| Obesity and type 2 diabetes | 110 | 855 | 13% |
| Cardiology | 421 | 2,826 | 15% |
| Neurology | 122 | 985 | 12% |
| Dermatology | 57 | 212 | 27% |
| Pain | 53 | 625 | 8% |
| Gastroenterology | 75 | 283 | 27% |
| Psychiatry | 152 | 1,275 | 12% |
Counts are studies with overall status Recruiting and at least one location within 30 miles of downtown Los Angeles, queried on Oct 5, 2026. Area counts use keyword searches on the condition field and overlap.
A radius count includes every recruiting study with at least one location inside the circle, so a study with sites in both Pasadena and Orange counts once. Area counts come from keyword searches, overlap, and can pull in off-target studies. A count shows where sponsors placed studies, not which ones enroll on schedule. The oncology examples below come from the same October 5, 2026 query.[1] See oncology for how Bond screens cancer studies.

Why is Bond the best clinical trial recruitment platform for research sites in the Los Angeles area?
Bond Health is the best clinical trial recruitment platform for research sites in the Los Angeles area because it does the whole job in one workflow: it finds eligible patients in your EHR, creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns to reach new ones, calls and texts every ad lead immediately and keeps following up with every lead to maximize response rates, pre-screens patients and books them for visits, supports informed consent and keeps participants engaged after enrollment. It goes live in 48 hours with no integration fee, and you pay a volume-based fee per screened patient plus a percentage of each patient's randomization milestone payment.[36],[37]
Up to 3x[36]

to full EHR integration, with no integration fee
- Agents that speak your patients' language. Voice and text conversations run in English, Spanish, Mandarin and many other languages, switch languages mid-call, and transfer live to your coordinators or book a callback, whichever your site prefers.[37]
- Every ad lead contacted immediately, and followed up until they book. Bond creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns for each study. Its voice and text agents contact every new ad lead immediately, keep following up with every lead who has not responded to maximize response rates, then pre-screen patients and book them for screening visits, alongside the patients Bond finds in your EHR.[37]
- One platform from ad click or chart match to a booked visit. Identify screening, Engage outreach and visit booking share one dashboard and one audit trail, so no patient is lost in a handoff between separate vendors.[36]
- Evidence behind every match. Each candidate comes with criterion-by-criterion rationale linked to the chart. Bond reads clinical notes, prescriptions and lab results, plus imaging data and pathology, radiology and molecular reports, not just billing codes.[36],[37]
- Every major EHR and CTMS, with EHR integration in 48 hours. Bond connects to Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), MEDITECH, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Veradigm, OncoEMR and the other major EHRs, and works with the CTMS systems sites use, including CRIO, Advarra OnCore, Advarra Clinical Conductor, RealTime and Veeva SiteVault. Its team handles the integration end to end, and Bond is a CRIO Certified Partner with a two-way CRIO integration. See integrations.[36],[37]
- No integration fee, and a price that moves with randomization. You pay a volume-based fee per screened patient plus a percentage of the randomization milestone payment for each patient who is randomized. See pricing.[37]
- Support after enrollment. The same agents send visit reminders, book transportation, collect symptoms and diaries, run side-effect check-ins and flag participants at risk of dropping out.[37]
- Security you can check. Bond is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type I compliant, its SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 audits are underway, and its public Trust Center lists 73 HIPAA Security Rule controls, monitored continuously. See security.[37],[38]

| Central and East Los Angeles | Keck Medicine of USC and the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center[3]; Children's Hospital Los Angeles; the county Department of Health Services | The Southern California CTSI at USC and CHLA says it supports more than 1,000 researchers in a city where 90 languages are spoken[6] |
| Duarte (San Gabriel Valley) | City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center[3] | City of Hope's system includes its Los Angeles campus, clinical care locations across Southern California and a new cancer center in Orange County[7] |
| Pasadena | Kaiser Permanente Southern California, headquartered there[8] | About 5 million members and 16 hospitals across Southern California as of June 30, 2026[8] |
| Orange, near the edge of the radius | UC Irvine Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center[3] | UC Irvine also hosts one of the National Institute on Aging's Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers[4] |
- Cancer. The National Cancer Institute lists four comprehensive cancer centers inside the 30-mile circle: UCLA Jonsson, USC Norris, City of Hope in Duarte and UC Irvine's Chao Family center in Orange.[3]
- Memory. The National Institute on Aging funds Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers at USC and UC Irvine.[4] See neurology and Alzheimer's.
- Community research. The UCLA CTSI runs clinical research centers with Cedars-Sinai and Lundquist/Harbor-UCLA and lists research centers at Charles R. Drew University in South Los Angeles.[5] The SC CTSI says its staff also work at the county Department of Health Services and in Los Angeles neighborhoods.[6]
Which EHRs do Los Angeles health systems run?
| System | Footprint | EHR |
|---|---|---|
| UCLA Health | Academic system; home of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center[3] | Epic, listed as "UCLA Medical Center"[9] |
| Cedars-Sinai | Academic medical center and UCLA CTSI partner[5] | Epic, listed as "Cedars-Sinai Health System"[9] |
| Kaiser Permanente Southern California | About 5 million members, 16 hospitals and 8,844 physicians in the region[8] | Epic, listed as "Kaiser Permanente - California - Southern"[9] |
| City of Hope | Cancer center in Duarte with care locations across Southern California[7] | Epic[9] |

| Los Angeles County Department of Health Services | The county's public hospital and clinic system | Oracle Health (Cerner)[10] |
| Children's Hospital Los Angeles | Pediatric academic center and SC CTSI partner[6] | Oracle Health (Cerner)[10] |
| Huntington Hospital (Pasadena) and Torrance Memorial | Community hospitals | Oracle Health (Cerner)[10] |
| Community health centers | 170 HRSA-funded awardees statewide served 5,900,539 patients in 2025[11] | Varies; AltaMed is listed in Epic's directory[9] |
A directory listing shows a FHIR endpoint, not every system an organization runs. Confirm with the site's IT team.
Los Angeles splits between Epic and Oracle Health. UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser and City of Hope appear in Epic's directory, while Keck Medicine of USC, CHLA and the county system appear in Oracle's.[9],[10] A study that draws on several of these systems may need both. Bond connects to Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), MEDITECH, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Veradigm, OncoEMR and other major EHRs through FHIR, HL7 or an aggregator.[36],[37] It also works with the CTMS systems sites use, including CRIO, Advarra OnCore, Advarra Clinical Conductor, RealTime and Veeva SiteVault (Bond is a CRIO Certified Partner).[36] See Epic and Oracle Health (Cerner).
Most of what decides eligibility sits in free text: clinic notes, pathology and radiology reports, and molecular results. Bond's screening reads clinical notes, prescriptions, lab results, imaging data and pathology, radiology and molecular reports, and shows criterion-by-criterion evidence for every match.[37] See Identify.
Who lives in the Los Angeles area, and what does that mean for outreach?
9.69 million[12]
Los Angeles County residents on July 1, 2025, down 3.2% since April 2020
49.3%[13]
Hispanic or Latino, Los Angeles County, 2025

Residents 5 and older who speak English less than "very well", 2024
The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area had 12,844,441 residents on July 1, 2025.[14] In Los Angeles County that year, 15.5% of residents were non-Hispanic Asian, 7.5% non-Hispanic Black, and 17.1% were 65 or older.[13] In 2024, 34.0% of county residents were born outside the United States, and 7.2% had no health insurance, against 8.2% nationally.[17],[18]
| Language | Speakers | Share of residents 5+ | Speak English less than "very well" |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spanish | 3,489,855 | 37.6% | 1,479,101 |
| Chinese (incl. Mandarin, Cantonese) | 383,333 | 4.1% | 219,662 |

American Community Survey 1-year estimates, table B16001. Shares are Bond's arithmetic.[16]
Language is a planning question, not a footnote. More than half of Korean and Chinese speakers in the county report speaking English less than "very well".[16] At California's HRSA-funded health centers in 2025, 64.02% of patients with known ethnicity were Hispanic or Latino and 39.02% had limited English proficiency.[11] A cohort that reflects Los Angeles needs Spanish at minimum, and often Chinese, Korean, Armenian or Tagalog, plus a plan for consent forms in those languages. See FQHCs and community sites.
Which site networks and research sites work in the Los Angeles area?
Each organization's own website, as of October 2026:
- Velocity Clinical Research lists Los Angeles area sites in Los Angeles, Gardena, Huntington Park, North Hollywood and Van Nuys.[19]
- Flourish Research lists Los Angeles County sites in Covina and Northridge, which it says focus on cardiovascular, metabolic, kidney and related studies.[20] See obesity and metabolic trials.
- START, an early-phase oncology network, runs START Los Angeles.[21]
- Ark Clinical Research lists sites in Long Beach and Fountain Valley.[22]
- Kaiser Permanente NCORP, part of NCI's Community Oncology Research Program, lists affiliates at Kaiser medical centers in Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, Bellflower, Panorama City and Woodland Hills.[23]
Much of the area's industry work also runs through hospital and practice sites. Kaiser Permanente medical centers, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Tower Cancer Research Foundation and The Angeles Clinic and Research Institute all appear on location records for recruiting studies in the radius.[2] Bond is a CRIO Certified Partner.[36] See research sites, site networks and physician groups.
Which California laws apply to AI outreach, calls and patient records?
None of these laws was written for trial recruitment, and how several apply to pre-screening is untested. This is the status as of October 2026 and a map for your counsel, not legal advice.
- AI-generated patient messages (AB 3030, Health and Safety Code 1339.75). Since January 1, 2025, a health facility, clinic, physician's office or group practice office that uses generative AI to write or voice patient communications about patient clinical information must include a disclaimer that the communication was AI-generated and clear instructions for reaching a human. On calls, the disclaimer must be spoken at the start and the end; in chat, it must stay on screen. The rule does not apply when a licensed or certified provider reads and reviews the message, and clinical information excludes appointment scheduling, billing and other clerical matters. Physicians answer to the Medical Board of California or the Osteopathic Medical Board.[24] Health-status questions in a pre-screen may count as clinical information; booking alone does not.
- AI and licensed titles (AB 489, Business and Professions Code 4999.8 to 4999.9). Since January 1, 2026, an AI system may not use terms, letters or phrases in its advertising or functionality that imply its advice or assessments come from a licensed health professional. Each use is a separate violation, enforced by the relevant licensing board.[25] An agent should not call itself a nurse or a doctor.
- Robocall devices (Public Utilities Code 2871 to 2876). A call placed with an automatic dialing-announcing device must open with a live, natural-voice announcement that names the caller, asks whether the person consents to hear the prerecorded message and, since January 1, 2025, says whether the message uses an artificial voice. These calls are barred between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. California time.[26],[27] The law defines the device by its prerecorded message, so whether it reaches a conversational AI agent is untested. Federal rules apply either way; see TCPA and AI outreach in 2026.
- Online bots (Business and Professions Code 17940 to 17943). Since July 1, 2019, it has been unlawful to use an online bot to mislead someone about its artificial identity to drive a commercial sale or influence a vote; a person who discloses that it is a bot is not liable.[28]
- Call recording (Penal Code 632 and 637.2). Recording a confidential communication needs the consent of all parties. Criminal fines run up to $2,500 per violation, and an injured person can sue for $5,000 per violation or three times actual damages.[29],[30] If calls are recorded, say so at the start.
- Medical records (Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, Civil Code 56.10 and 56.36). A provider needs the patient's authorization to disclose medical information unless an exception applies. One exception allows disclosure to clinical investigators and research organizations for bona fide research purposes, with no further disclosure that would identify the patient. A negligent release can cost $1,000 in nominal damages plus actual damages, and fines or civil penalties up to $2,500 per violation.[31],[32] HIPAA's research rules apply alongside it; see waiver of authorization.
- Consumer privacy (CCPA, Civil Code 1798.146). The CCPA does not apply to medical information governed by the CMIA, to protected health information held by HIPAA covered entities and business associates, or to information collected, used or disclosed in research, including a clinical trial, conducted under HIPAA, the Common Rule, ICH good clinical practice or FDA human-subject rules.[33] Data from ad leads collected before anyone is screened may fall outside those exemptions, so ask counsel how lead forms are covered.
- Research consent (Health and Safety Code 24172 and 24178). Investigators at institutions with a federal human-subjects assurance who obtain consent under federal rules are exempt from most of California's Protection of Human Subjects in Medical Experimentation Act, but the experimental subject's bill of rights, written in a language the subject is fluent in, still applies.[34],[35]
How does Bond deploy with a Los Angeles site?
Full EHR integration typically takes 48 hours, depending on the EHR, IT review and interface method.[36] See implementation for the step-by-step plan.
- 1
Agree scope and paperwork
Bond signs a business associate agreement, and the site confirms its IRB or privacy board path for screening records.[36] Settle the California points up front: AI disclosure wording, the recording notice and calling hours.
- 2
Connect the EHR
Connect Epic or Oracle Health through FHIR, HL7 or an aggregator. A network that spans UCLA-affiliated and USC-affiliated physicians may need one connection per system.
- 3
Check criteria before outreach
Coordinators review the chart evidence behind each criterion on sample matches before any patient is contacted. See validating eligibility logic before go-live.
- 4
Run ads, reach out and book
Bond creates and runs Meta and Google ad campaigns for each study, paid from the site's own ad budget. Its voice and text agents contact every new lead immediately, keep following up with those who have not responded, work in the patient's language and can switch languages mid-call. Pre-screened patients are booked straight into the site's calendar, with reminders by text, voice or email.[36],[37]
Bring one open protocol and tell us which EHR your patients are in.
