Access to the Latest Treatments

Clinical trials are medical research studies that look for new ways to prevent, detect or treat disease. They’re used to determine if new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find effective new treatments. There are many kinds of clinical trials. Some test new drugs, while others look at new surgical procedures or devices, and still others look for new ways to use current treatments.

Are You Eligible?

Clinical trials have eligibility requirements, which may include your age, gender, other medical conditions and treatment history. If your doctor thinks you’re a good candidate, he or she will explain the study, what its benefits and risks are and possible side effects of the experimental treatment.

At Montefiore Nyack Hospital, patients who choose to participate in a clinical trial receive comprehensive, advanced care, sometimes well before it’s available anywhere else.

If you participate in a clinical trial, you might receive a new treatment that works better than existing treatments, and you’ll have extra care and attention from the medical research staff. Your quality of life and/or medical outcome might improve as a result of your participation in the trial. In addition, by participating in a clinical trial you’ll help improve the care of future patients. View our current clinical trials below.
