Clinical research
Hope through Research
Clinical trials are research studies involving humans, some who are well and others diagnosed with an illness. Through clinical studies, doctors and researchers learn more about endocrinological, metabolic, and diabetic illnesses and their complications, while investigating new treatments. Diabetes Associates medical group conducts clinical research at a separate but adjourning research site. The design of each trial is reviewed and its process is monitored to ensure that the risks are small and are worth the potential benefits.
We are seeking participants for clinical trials in type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, thyroid cancer, peripheral artery disease.
