A Clinical Trial is a research study to answer specific questions about new therapies or new ways of using established treatments. Clinical Trials are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Most current drug therapies were initially developed in past Clinical Trials.

Participants include men, women and children of all ages, races, religions and ethnic backgrounds, depending on the study guidelines. Protection of the rights, safety and welfare of our research participants is always our primary concern. Clinical Trial participants are seen regularly by the research staff to monitor their health and to determine the safety and effectiveness of their treatment. Each Clinical Trial is approved by the Institutional Review Board consisting of healthcare professionals as well as lay people from the community to ensure that risks are monitored and federal regulations are followed.

What follows is a brochure of some of the hundreds of Clinical Trials at University Hospitals of Cleveland that are actively recruiting participants. If you would like to participate, please note that each trial is listed with study-specific contact information. You may also enroll online by selecting the "Enroll in Clinical Trials" link at the left of this screen.

We hope you find this brochure useful, and that you will share it with friends and family who may benefit from one of the studies.
