Advanced Liver Therapies Research Clinical Trials

Led by Dr. John M. Vierling, Advanced Liver Therapies Research Center endorses and practices the highest standards of ethical research, while providing opportunities for all patients to participate in clinical trials.

Working with practicing physicians, the center:

• Coordinates with referring physicians, who continue to provide all clinical care
• Provides patients with access to clinical trials
• Provides a patient-friendly environment including individual exam rooms, phlebotomy facility, FibroScan with CAP to detect living scarring and fat and an infusion center
• Works with study sponsor to ensure all research medications, exams, testing, imaging and procedures are paid: no patient co-pays, no charges to insurance, no insurance pre-authorizations
• Provides patients with results of all laboratory, imaging or pathology tests for use in overall healthcare
