See the table below for currently enrolling studies.

What is Clinical Research? Clinical trials, or clinical research studies, are usually initiated and performed by large sponsors such as pharmaceutical companies or the U.S. government in order to help researchers find new or better treatments for various diseases or medical conditions. Private practice physicians and university based physicians will serve as “investigators” and collaborate with these sponsors to perform the studies with the help of their patients or volunteers. Study volunteers are usually randomly assigned to a group to receive a study drug or treatment. In some cases, patients may receive different doses of the study drug or even no treatment at all (placebo). All patients who volunteer for studies are educated about the requirements of the study. In addition, an “informed consent” detailing the benefits and risks of the study treatment will be presented, explained, and then signed by the study participant. All investigational studies are monitored by an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is responsible for protecting the rights of patients in clinical trials and protecting them from any unnecessary risks. Furthermore, all records regarding participation in a clinical trial are kept confidential.

Why participate in a Clinical Research Study? Clinical research studies provide the opportunity to receive treatments not currently available for many diseases. Clinical trials of medications help advance the knowledge about treatments for certain conditions and may help others in the future. In most cases, clinical trials provide all doctor visits, tests, and treatments free of charge. Patients participating in clinical trials receive a good deal of special attention during the trial and on follow up.

How do I know if I can participate in a Clinical Research Study? Each study will be enrolling participants of different ages and/or disease severity. Feel free to ask your doctor if you are a candidate for clinical trials. The study team will review your medical history in order to determine if you qualify.
