Clinical Trials Participation
The Center for Clinical Research conducts research studies in a variety of populations including children, adolescents, adults and geriatrics. These studies may include observation, psychotherapy, medications, antibodies and other biological therapies or devices with the focus of improving the fundamental understanding of the cause of medical disorders.
The Center for Clinical Research is overseen by the director, Tiffany Schwasinger-Schmidt, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Schwasinger-Schmidt has been participating in clinical trials since 2017 and has been investigator on more than 30 trials. The research staff consists of research nurses, study coordinators, and recruiters who are extensively trained in running clinical trials.
The equipment available through the Center for Clinical Research includes a 4 degrees Celsius refrigerator, -20 degrees Celsius freezer, -80 degrees Celsius freezer, IP storage, all temperature monitored as well as refrigerated and ambient centrifuges. The research staff can perform procedures such as PK testing, intravenous infusions, pharmacogenomics, ECG, standardized ratings and phlebotomy for sample collection.
Through the work of the Center for Clinical Research, we are able to bring cutting edge care to Kansans by studying the effects of new medications and devices to determine safety and effectiveness in treatment. At the KU Center for Clinical Research, we are advancing the practice of medicine right here in Wichita.
