What are Clinical Trials?
Clinical trials are a subset of clinical research and reside at the core of all medical advances. Clinical trials look at new ways of preventing, detecting, and/or treating diseases. Treatments might be new drugs or new drug combinations, new surgical devices or procedures, or new ways to utilize existing treatments.The goal of clinical trials is to determine the safety and efficacy of new treatments. Clinical trials can also look at other aspects of care such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.
People participate in clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Most healthy research participants list their desire to help others as their main motivation for enrolling in a clinical trial. Many of these participants have friends or family members that have suffered from conditions with limited treatment options in the past. Research participants with an existing illness or disease also participate to help others, but also for the possibility of receiving investigational treatments not yet available to the general public.
Clinical trials offer hope for many people and an opportunity to help researchers find better treatments for others in the future.
Why participate in Clinical Trials?
Clinical studies play a crucial role in determining the benefits and risks of new medical approaches, shaping medical practices, and contributing to the development of innovative healthcare solutions.
Science can't advance without your help

Current Studies
Our ongoing clinical trials are pivotal in assessing the advantages and potential risks associated with novel medical advancements. Through rigorous research and meticulous investigation, we strive to pave the way for groundbreaking developments in the realm of healthcare.
Covid-19 Infection
COVID-19 infection, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is a contagious respiratory illness characterized by symptoms ranging from mild cold-like symptoms to severe respiratory distress. It emerged in late 2019, leading to a global pandemic. Common symptoms include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Preventive measures like vaccination, mask-wearing, and physical distancing are crucial in controlling its spread.
Asthma
Asthma is a long-term condition in which the airways become inflamed and sensitive, making breathing difficult. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Triggers can include allergens, exercise, cold air, or infections. Flare-ups can range from mild to severe, but with proper treatment and monitoring, most people manage their symptoms well and continue to live healthy, active lives. If you have asthma and are interested in joining our research study, we’d love to hear from you.
Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer is a malignant disease that originates in the lungs, usually linked to smoking but also occurring in non-smokers. It involves abnormal cell growth in lung tissues, often causing symptoms like persistent cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Early detection through screenings can improve treatment outcomes, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies.
Covid-19 Exposure
COVID-19 exposure refers to being in close contact with an individual infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the COVID-19 illness. Close contact involves being within a certain distance of the infected person for a prolonged period. This exposure increases the risk of contracting the virus, and individuals who have been exposed are advised to monitor their health, get tested, and follow public health guidelines to prevent further spread.
Obesity/Weight Loss
Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excess body weight due to an accumulation of fat. It can increase the risk of various health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems. Weight loss involves reducing calorie intake, increasing physical activity, and making lifestyle changes to achieve a healthier weight and reduce associated health risks. It often requires a balanced approach of healthy eating, regular exercise, and behavioral adjustments.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to either insufficient insulin production (Type 1 diabetes) or ineffective insulin utilization (Type 2 diabetes). It can lead to various health complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. Management involves blood sugar monitoring, medication (insulin or oral drugs), a balanced diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevent complications.
Colon Cancer Screening
Colon cancer screening is a preventive healthcare practice aimed at detecting colorectal cancer or precancerous growths in the colon and rectum. It involves various methods, including colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, fecal occult blood tests, and stool DNA tests, to identify abnormalities early when they are more treatable. Regular screening is essential for early detection and improved outcomes in the fight against colon cancer. The specific screening method and frequency may vary based on individual risk factors and medical guidelines.
Influenza 'Flu' Vaccine
Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness spread through coughs, sneezes, or close contact. It can cause serious complications like pneumonia, hospitalization, or worsening of chronic conditions.
Annual flu vaccines provide important protection, especially for adults 65 and older who face higher risks.
We are conducting a study comparing the effectiveness of 2 non-experimental flu vaccines for older adults. If you are 65 or above and interested in joining, please contact us for more information.

COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways and obstructed airflow, making it difficult to breathe. It typically results from long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most commonly from smoking. Symptoms of COPD include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and increased production of mucus. COPD can significantly impact a person's quality of life and requires ongoing management and treatment.
