What are clinical trials?

  • Volunteers

    Clinical trials are research programs that use volunteers in order to find better or new treatment for different diseases.

  • Expand knowledge

    Clinical trials expand the knowledge of disease processes.

  • Safety and efficacy

    Clinical trials determine safety and efficacy of novel interventions.

Our clinical trials

  • Our clinical trials on NAFLD aim to find treatment for this condition that affects millions of people. Diet and exercise are still the pillars of treatment. However, that is not possible for some patients.

  • Our clinical trials on PBC are trying to find better treatment, with fewer side effects and greater efficacy.

  • Unfortunately, there still isn’t a treatment for PSC. Being a rare disease, finding volunteers is a priority.

  • Biomarkers help us to diagnose liver disease earlier and accurately.

Pre-screening visit and FibroScan

  • A pre-screening visit is conducted to evaluate your eligibility to participate in a clinical trial.

  • It consists of reviewing your medical history, performing a FibroScan, and sometimes, doing blood work.

  • This information will allow us to determine if you qualify to participate in a clinical trial
