International Medical Technical Consultants Inc., 16300 College Blvd. Lenexa, is one of about 50 businesses worldwide who conduct clinical research for pharmaceutical companies. About 40 to 50 percent of the firm's 2000 volunteers this year are college students, said Shelley Dorsh, marketing coordinator for the firm.
Males between the ages of 18 and 40 are desirable candidates for Phase 1 research, which tests medications for pharmaceutical companies, said Robert J. Dockhorn, physician and firm president and founder.

Dorsh said. Marketing and advertising research about the medication is also conducted, she said. Phase II through IV testing is usually outpatient.
Women have not been used in Phase I research because of the potential risk to an unborn child cited by the Food and Drug Administration, Dockhorn said.
