Clinical Research & Trials

A clinical trial (also referred to as clinical research) is a type of research study that tests how well new medical approaches work in people. Using human volunteers, researchers evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medications, treatments and medical devices by monitoring their effects on large groups of people.

Patients gain access to promising new treatments, drugs and interventions before they are widely available. In addition, participants are closely monitored by physicians at leading health care facilities during the trial.

Saving lives through science and innovation

Bridging the gap between research and patient care, MICC has been at the forefront of hundreds of the newest treatment options available today. Our research department, in collaboration with our investigating physicians, conducts clinical trials as part of our mission to advance cardiovascular health both for our patients and for the global community.

From evaluating promising new drug therapies for patients with diabetes or osteoarthritis, to finding new solutions to managing heart failure, we deliver life-changing results by:

Leading the way in cardiovascular medicine

MICC physicians explore and develop exciting new treatments and technologies in the field of cardiac medicine. Many of the trials at MICC examine the use of new medications. For example, we were investigators of a new drug called Angiomax® which is quickly replacing heparin during angioplasties. This drug is now being widely used because it reduces bleeding and toxicity levels in the patient as compared to heparin.

We are also investigators for the FDA approved study called VEST-PREDICTS intended to determine whether implanting defibrillators in patients sooner than the customary period will save lives.

Current Clinical Trials

MICC is presently conducting 19 clinical studies and enrollment is open for potential participants. If you are currently a patient and would like to be considered as a candidate, or are a physician who is interested in referring one of your patients, please email our research program manager at Research@micc.com.
