Advancing Medicine in the Treasure Valley

Treasure Valley Medical Research (TVMR), located in Boise, Idaho, is a modern clinical research center dedicated to improving patient care through high-quality clinical trials. Clinical research is a critical part of how new therapies, medical devices, and diagnostic tools come to market. Each year, millions of people participate in clinical trials across the United States—driving innovation and expanding treatment options for future generations.

At TVMR, participants have the opportunity to address their own health conditions while contributing to meaningful scientific advancement. Every individual who volunteers plays a vital role in helping the medical community discover safer, more effective therapies that can improve quality of life worldwide.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver safe, ethical, and patient-centered clinical research that advances healthcare standards. We believe research should be accessible, informative, and impactful — both for current participants and for the broader medical community.

Our Research Focus

TVMR conducts studies across multiple therapeutic areas, including immune-mediated disease, dermatology, allergy & asthma, gastrointestinal conditions, and other inflammatory disorders. These studies help evaluate:

  • New medications and biologics

  • Diagnostic testing methods

  • Novel delivery systems and devices

  • Improved standards of care

Our work provides patients with access to emerging therapies that are not yet widely available, especially for conditions where treatment options are limited.

TVMR also collaborates closely with The Allergy Group — a respected clinic serving the Treasure Valley — to expand research opportunities for patients with allergic, respiratory, and immune-related diseases.

Our Facility

Our research facility is equipped to support a broad range of Phase II–IV outpatient clinical trials and includes:

  • CLIA-Certified Clinical Laboratory

  • Locked & Temperature-Controlled Drug and Document Storage

  • Temperature-Controlled Freezers & Refrigerators

  • Spirometry & ECG Capabilities

This was a great experience! I felt the medication was of significant value for those who experienced heartburn and esophageal erosion. The nurses were always friendly and worked with my crazy schedule. The actual endoscopy procedures were not at all inconvenient and without any discomfort. I felt as though it was for the good of everyone who suffers from these ailments. Plus they even paid me to participate.

I did an eczema study, and they were easy to work with, and very kind. When I came in they saw how severe it was, and were helpful in getting me assistance to treat it beyond the study as well. I can go out in public with short sleeves again! They were also very concerned about how I was doing, beyond just how I was as a patient. Overall a very positive experience!

I have suffered with angioedema chronic urticaria for a year and a half. Dr Webb referred me to TVMR that was doing a clinical trial. I knew it would be a big time commitment but I thought if it gave me some relieve, even temporarily, and furthered the medical research that it was worth it. Everyone was so nice!! I was treated as a friend. The time went fast and I went several weeks with no symptoms. It was a welcomed relief. I even enjoyed the time visiting with the gals and also watching Netflix. If anyone is considering or wondering about participating in a clinical trial i highly recommend it. The medicine might not be available to you for years to come but you’ve helped further its progress to help others in years to come. I did not suffer any ill effects from the treatment and I do feel that it has helped me a great deal and is very promising.

I have been suffering with Chronic Urticaria for over a year, and nothing The Allergy Group tried seemed to help. I tried Xolair, but had side effects and had to stop. They suggested I try the clinical trial. I’ve been so miserable I had to do something. Within two days of my first infusion, I was hive-free. I didn’t realize how miserable I really was until I didn’t have horrible itching and huge welts all over my body.

Dr. Talreja and her staff are WONDERFUL! They are very kind and caring, and keep you informed of everything involving the study. When I decided to participate in this clinical trial, I was a bit nervous, but wouldn’t think twice about volunteering again.

Thank you Dr. Telreja and staff for helping me to get relief. I feel like a different person.

I recently participated in a 6 month long clinical drug trial through Treasure Valley Medical Research. I am happy knowing that my participation will hopefully be helping patients like me in the near future. Dr. Talreja and Shaunta Bernel always did their very best to make me feel informed and comfortable during the entire study. At one point I had an unrelated medical issue on a Saturday afternoon. Both Shaunta and Dr. Talreja were available by telephone for the ER doctors to consult with to be sure any treatment I received didn’t interfere with the study. In fact, both Dr. T and Shaunta were always available for any questions I had during the entire study. Overall, participating in this drug study has been an interesting and rewarding experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to volunteer for another in the future.
