Clinical Trial Focus

The Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center conducts state-of-the-art clinical trials in the field of cardiovascular diseases.

Our renowned faculty encompasses a broad range of disciplines within the field, with extensive clinical trials, and experience investigating new drugs, procedures, and device-based therapies to provide the latest technologies directly to our patients.

The CCRC is poised to contribute significantly to finding innovative ways to manage the damage caused by heart disease – and reducing the far-reaching impacts it inflicts on the lives of those affected in our community. We’re pursuing an advanced scientific and clinical research agenda, enabling the CCRC and its physicians to offer patients access to advanced clinical therapies that would otherwise not be available.

Participation

Every person’s journey is unique: what motivates you or any individual to volunteer to participate in a clinical trial is also unique. These are some of the reasons people volunteer to participate in a clinical trial:

  • Access to treatment currently unavailable to the general public
  • A thorough physical examination, often including lab work, EKG, comprehensive screening, and other tests all at no cost
  • Participation will help make new medication and treatment options available to others
