Clinical Trials & Research
Advancing the practice of medicine through clinical trials and research
At St. Jude and St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group, we are committed to providing patients in Orange County with exceptional care, including the latest advances in medicine. Clinical trials and research help us accomplish this by bringing state-of-the-art treatments to our patients sooner and by advancing the practice of medicine with each new breakthrough.
Research has the power to transform and save lives
We select clinical trials that we believe can offer real benefits to our patients — and we protect and closely monitor our patients through the entire clinical trial process. An Institutional Review Board (IRB) comprised of physicians, researchers and community advocates carefully evaluates the merits of each trial and ensures the clinical trial poses no unnecessary or inappropriate risks to patients.
Current studies at St. Jude Heritage and St. Joseph Heritage Medical Groups include:
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Endocrinology and diabetes
- Gastroenterology
- Pulmonary
- Rheumatology
