Clinical Research

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical approaches, devices, or treatments on people. These studies help determine if new treatments are safe and effective. Clinical trials are essential for advancing medical knowledge and developing new therapies across all therapeutic areas including cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, immunology, and more.

Each clinical trial has specific eligibility criteria that determine who can participate. These criteria may include age, gender, medical history, current health status, and the type or stage of disease. Some trials seek participants with a specific condition, while others need healthy volunteers. During your screening visit, we'll determine if you meet the requirements for any of our current studies.

Patient safety is our top priority. All clinical trials are carefully designed and must be approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) before they begin. Throughout the study, you'll be closely monitored by our experienced medical team. You'll receive detailed information about potential risks and benefits before you decide to participate, and you can withdraw from the study at any time for any reason.

Patient reimbursement for time and travel may be available depending on the specific study. The availability and amount vary based on the study requirements, number of visits, and time commitment. Study-related medical care, procedures, and medications are typically provided at no cost to you. Specific reimbursement details will be discussed during the informed consent process.

Time commitments vary significantly depending on the study. Some trials may require just a few visits over several weeks, while others may span several months or longer. Each visit typically lasts 1-3 hours. We'll provide you with a detailed schedule before you enroll so you can determine if the time commitment fits your lifestyle.

During a clinical trial, you'll attend scheduled visits where our medical team will monitor your health through physical exams, laboratory tests, and other assessments. You may receive the study treatment (medication, device, or intervention) and will be asked to report any symptoms or side effects. Our team will closely track your progress throughout the study to ensure your safety and collect valuable research data.

Absolutely. Participation in a clinical trial is completely voluntary, and you have the right to withdraw at any time for any reason without penalty or loss of benefits. If you decide to leave a study, we encourage you to speak with the research team so they can ensure your safe exit from the trial and discuss any necessary follow-up care.

Yes, your privacy is protected by federal law (HIPAA). All information collected during the study is kept strictly confidential. Your personal health information is coded and stored securely. When study results are published, no identifying information about individual participants is included. Only authorized research team members have access to your records.

We conduct clinical trials across a wide variety of therapeutic areas including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions, dermatology, mental health, pain management, infectious diseases, oncology, neurology, immunology, and many more. Our diverse portfolio of studies means we may have opportunities suitable for various health conditions and for healthy volunteers.
