Clinical Research
Clinical research can offer more options for treatment.
Medical research through clinical trials can make innovative care available to you before it is offered more widely in your community. Our goal is to find new ways to prevent, detect and treat diseases. Our clinical trials include studies of new drugs, new drug combinations, medical devices and innovative therapies. Clinical trials also help us develop new ways to use existing treatments, reduce side effects and study new surgical procedures.

Participating in medical research
Volunteering to participate in a clinical trial helps us develop therapies that we will rely on in the future. Every drug and device approved for use in the United States was first tested by volunteers in carefully controlled clinical trials. Our research teams are made up of physicians, nurses, study coordinators, data management and regulatory professionals, and others in healthcare.
Because clinical trials are designed to test the effectiveness and safety of medications and medical devices, benefits are not guaranteed. Clinical trials may involve risks, as with routine medical care and even daily activities. Novant Health’s clinical research teams partner with Institutional Review Boards to ensure all study volunteers have the information they need to make informed decisions about participation. Participation in a research trial is a personal decision involving a patient and the care team. Your medical teams will clearly explain the possible risks and benefits of participation.
