Clinical Trials
OVERVIEW
The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology conducts clinical trials on novel therapeutics for various liver diseases, bringing promising and innovative therapies to our patients.
Our team has extensive experience selecting the right patients for the right trials.
Clinical trials are an important part of the research involved in developing new medical treatments. Enrolling in a clinical trial enables participants to take an active role in their own health care, gain entrance to new research, and contribute to medical science.
Participants must meet specific criteria to be eligible for enrollment in a clinical trial. Some research studies seek participants with illnesses or specific conditions to be studied in the clinicaltrial, while others ask for healthy participants.
