Aayus Research conducts pharmaceutical and device clinical trials in sleep, metabolic, and general medicine — led by a board-certified physician-investigator and a team that treats every participant like a patient first.
Founded and directed by Bhavim Desai, MD — principal investigator at Aayus Research and board-certified in Sleep Medicine, Family Medicine, and Obesity Medicine, with an active clinical practice serving Central Texas.
Our study focus follows the conditions our physicians treat every day — which means faster feasibility answers, real patient familiarity, and recruitment that starts from an established base rather than a cold list.
Insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and idiopathic hypersomnia studies — grounded in a dedicated sleep medicine practice and its patient population.
Weight management, metabolic health, and emerging pharmacotherapy studies for patients navigating long-term care beyond the trial itself.
General population and preventive-care studies, drawing on a broad, established base of patients across Central Texas.
The lotus in our mark isn't decoration — its five petals trace the five stages every study moves through at Aayus, from first contact to the final locked dataset.
Candidates are identified through our clinical practice or direct outreach and reviewed against protocol criteria before any visit is scheduled.
The PI or a delegated sub-investigator walks each participant through the study in plain language, with time for every question, before anything is signed.
Baseline assessments, labs, and randomization are completed to protocol, with source documentation built in from the first visit.
Scheduled visits, adverse event review, and query resolution run on a cadence built to keep both the participant and the data on schedule.
Close-out visits, final safety follow-up, and clean, monitor-ready data delivered on the timeline the sponsor needs.
We evaluate feasibility honestly, tell you early if a protocol won't fit our population, and run the studies we take on with the same discipline we apply to our own patients.
Clinical trials can sound clinical. Ours are explained in plain terms, on your timeline, with a physician available to answer what a form can't.
Aayus Research operates alongside Sleep Medicine Consultants of Central Texas, giving our site a running start on recruitment and continuity of care.
Our primary site and administrative home, integrated with an active sleep and metabolic medicine practice.
Tell us about your protocol or your interest as a participant, and someone from our team will follow up directly.
