Uniting you with researchers in the pursuit of health discovery.

Clinical trials are an important step in research to discover new treatments that help improve the health and well-being of our community. YOU are an important part of this step. Our researchers need YOU to volunteer and help pave the path of discovery.

Purpose is to determine whether metformin can improve the immune response to the Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-13).
Volunteers are needed in clinical trials to understand how new treatments or interventions affect people. Without you, better treatments for diseases like diabetes, cancer, stroke, and other medical conditions would not exist. Clinical trials can offer new treatment options not yet readily available.
