Physicians Research Group Partners with The Krasner Institute to Expand Mental Health Research Access in Connecticut
Collaboration brings advanced clinical trial opportunities to patients facing treatment-resistant depression and other complex mental health conditions.
Connecticut August 27, 2026 Physicians Research Group (PRG), a leading clinical trial management organization, today announced a new strategic partnership with The Krasner Institute, a concierge psychiatric practice based in Wilton, Connecticut, led by Dr. Aaron Krasner. The collaboration marks PRG's expansion into Connecticut and strengthens its mission to connect patients with cutting-edge mental health research.
The partnership comes as mental health conditions, particularly treatment-resistant depression, continue to affect millions of Americans who have exhausted standard treatment options without relief. By joining forces with The Krasner Institute, PRG will help bring clinical trial access to patients across Fairfield County, Westchester, and the greater Tri-State area, giving families a path forward when conventional care hasn't worked.
The Krasner Institute is known for its Assess, Treat, Plan model of care, offering advanced interventional psychiatry including TMS therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and precision psychopharmacology for children, adolescents, and adults. Led by Dr. Aaron Krasner, a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist and Past President of the American Society of Adolescent Psychiatry, the practice has built a reputation for tackling complex, treatment-resistant cases that other providers have been unable to resolve.
Through this partnership, patients at The Krasner Institute will gain access to clinical research studies managed by PRG, offering new, potentially life-changing treatment options alongside their existing care. For many families who have tried multiple therapies without lasting results, participation in a clinical trial can open the door to emerging treatments not yet widely available, often at no cost and under close medical supervision. At the same time, the collaboration will generate valuable data to advance the broader understanding of treatment-resistant depression and related conditions, helping researchers and clinicians develop better solutions for patients everywhere.
This expansion also means Connecticut families no longer need to travel out of state or wait extended periods to explore research-backed treatment options. By pairing The Krasner Institute's clinical expertise with PRG's research infrastructure, patients benefit from coordinated care that combines rigorous scientific oversight with the personalized, whole-family approach the Institute is known for.
PRG has requested that its new Connecticut site be added to its clinical trial listings, with the page expected to go live in the coming days.
