WHAT WE DO AT CARE UNITED RESEARCH
At Care United Research, we are dedicated to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care through rigorous clinical trials. Our passionate team designs and conducts studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of promising new treatments. By partnering with volunteers, we strive to find innovative solutions and contribute to a healthier future for our community and beyond.
CURRENT STUDIES
We are now enrolling for research trials in these areas:
WHAT IS A CLINICAL TRIAL?
A clinical trial is another name for an interventional study, which is defined as a type of clinical study in which participants are assigned to groups that receive one or more intervention treatment (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. These assignments are determined by the study’s protocol. Participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions. There are five phases of clinical trials, Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV. Care United Research primarily participates in clinical trials with the Phase II through Phase IV range.
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
Per the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website, people participate in clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Healthy volunteers say they participate to help others and to contribute to moving science forward. Participants with an illness or disease also participate to help others, but also to possiblv receive the newest treatment and to have the additional care and attention from the clinical trial staff. Clinical trials offer hope for many people and an opportunity to help researchers find better treatments for others in the future.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Care United Research (CURe) is actively seeking Adult patients, ages 18 years or older. Please continue to check back for updates regarding our demographic age range.
