Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate new medical approaches and increase scientific understanding of a wide variety of diseases. At St. Hope, we believe that this research is key to improving health care throughout the world.
Our goal is to quickly translate research findings into clinical care that benefits all patients. Through clinical trials, our researchers learn which approaches are more effective than others.
St. Hope actively engages interest in the following clinical trials:
- Treatment trials – this type of trial test new drugs, medical procedures, or combinations of treatments
- Prevention trials – this type of trial searches for better approaches to prevent diseases through medicines, vaccines, or lifestyle changes
- Screening trials – this type of trial searches for new ways to test for the presence of a disease or health condition
- Quality of life trials – this type of trial explores ways to improve comfort and quality of life for chronically ill individuals
