CSI clinical research allows our staff to continually validate and refine currently accepted standards of care, insuring our patients receive the benefit of new medical knowledge immediately. It also gives us the ability to explore and create new treatments, creating opportunities for our patients to be involved with exciting developments in immune system research from their inception.

At CSI, we believe that treating our patients in a clinical research environment is one of our greatest strengths. Medical care outside of the setting of a clinical research environment is, by definition, last year’s care. CSI strives to create, define and provide tomorrow’s care, today.

Everyday, research uncovers new information about medical conditions and possible therapies. Your involvement in clinical research studies could help in the development of new medications to benefit you or others with similar conditions.

A Clinical Research Study is carefully designed to test the effects of a medication in a group of volunteers. The study measures the drug’s ability to treat a condition, its safety, and its possible side effects. A Research Participant will see doctors and nurses frequently. In many clinical studies, participants may receive either the drug being studied or placebo.

Study related physical exams, lab tests, and study medications are usually provided at no cost throughout the trial. In addition, travel and other expenses accrued during the study may be reimbursed.

Every research protocol has a unique set of qualifications necessary to participate in the study. These are defined as Inclusion Criteria and Exclusion Criteria.

The following steps are taken to see if you are eligible to participate in a particular study:

• Call the Research Dept at CSI and you will be asked questions specific to the research study you are interested in.
• If you meet the screening Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria on the phone you will be asked to make an appointment.
• At your first visit you will be given a consent form to sign, explaining the details of the study and we will answer any questions you might have.
• You will then start the screening process for the study.
• Once all the screening data is available, you will be enrolled in the study if you meet all the Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria.
• If you do not meet the Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria at the initial phone call or you fail to meet the criteria during screening, with your permission your information will go into our data base for future studies.
