Follow on Google News | Midwest Clinical Research Center Recruits First Participants in Johnson & Johnson StudyKansas City research center gains attention for the Midwest from global drug companies
By: Midwest Center for Clinical Research “Dr. Taormina and Jody Ehrhardt have successfully opened a clinical research site and far exceeded Johnson & Johnson’s expectations,” The Midwest Center for Clinical Research was created as a division of Midwest Gastroenterology one year ago. Together the research center and gastroenterology practice find solutions for patients suffering from Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis and other Irritable Bowel Disorders (IBD). The research center has already recruited over 60 participants who volunteer for investigational drugs with hopes of finding relief for the diseases they fight. “Our goal at Midwest Gastroenterology and the Midwest Center for Clinical Research is to serve our patients who suffer from Irritable Bowel Disorders. As experts in IBD, we have a dedicated infusion area and nurse who specialize in treating patients with these disorders, and we offer traditional and investigational drugs to help our patients find relief,” said Dr. Marc Taormina of Midwest Gastroenterology. Putting Kansas City on the Map for Clinical Research Clinical research trials allow participants to play an active role in their own health care. Research trials allow access to new treatments before they are widely available to the public, and offer solutions to those who have no relief from current medications. Typically, drug companies will look to more highly populated areas first when introducing a new drug trial; however, the success of Midwest Center for Clinical Research has highlighted Kansas City as a successful area for clinical research. “Recently a clinical research associate informed me that our success has proven that people in the Midwest have positive feelings toward clinical research, and that it is a growing area for research,” said Jody Ehrhardt, Director of the Midwest Center for Clinical Research. “Drug companies usually looked first to the highly populated east and west coasts for new trials and didn’t put Kansas City, MO towards the top of the list – but they do now.” # # # The Midwest Center for Clinical Research was founded in 2010 to offer investigational research trials to gastrointestinal disorder suffers. The clinical research center operates several drug trials through global drug companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Abbott, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Located in Lee’s Summit, MO, the research center meets all FDA requirements and has a dedicated team of professionals who provide guidance and support to participants of each trial.
