Midwest Gastroenterology Adds Midwest Center for Clinical Research
(dated 8-24-10)
Midwest Gastroenterology Partners is proud to announce the grand opening of the Midwest Center for Clinical Research, a research center housed in the Lee’s Summit facility for all patients to participate in clinical research trials.
“Participating in a clinical trial can be a rewarding and beneficial experience. Some of our patients will participate so they can help others diagnosed with the same disease while others will volunteer in an effort to help find new treatments or cures for a disease they have yet to find relief from,” said Jody Ehrhardt CCRC, Clinical Research Director for Midwest Center for Clinical Research.
The facility performs clinical research trials encompassing drug testing, phases 2, 3 and 4 clinical studies, endoscopic research and outcomes research. Midwest Center for Clinical Research is currently performing studies for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Proctitis, and will be beginning studies for constipation, and diarrhea predominant IBS in the fall.
“Our research division not only opens up the opportunity for our patients to try the latest medicines, but to help others in the future diagnosed with their same disease,” said Marc Taormina, M.D.
