Overview
The EDC has been involved in over 120 research projects sponsored by theCurrent research
LITES – Linking Investigations in Trauma and Emergency Services: The Linking Investigations in Trauma and Emergency Services (LITES) is a research network of US trauma systems and centers with the capability to conduct prospective, multicenter, injury care and outcomes research of relevance to the Department of Defense (DOD). MINT – Myocardial Ischemia and Transfusion: MINT is a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing red blood cell transfusion strategies for patients who have had a myocardial infarction and are anemic. The trial will enroll 3500 hospitalized patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction who are anemic (have blood counts less than 10 g/dL) to receive either a liberal or a restrictive transfusion strategy. PTC – Pulmonary Trials Cooperative: The Pulmonary Trials Cooperative brings together research protocol leaders, clinical centers, and research participants to develop new treatments and test existing clinical management strategies. Vit-D-Kids – Vitamin D Kids Asthma: This study will determine whether vitamin D3 helps to prevent severe asthma attacks in asthmatic children who are being treated with inhaled corticosteroids. Results from prior studies suggest that vitamin D reduces the risk of severe asthma attacks and that this protective effect may be due to immune modulation of viral illnesses or increased response to inhaled corticosteroids. SCD-CARRE – Sickle Cell Disease and CardiovAscular Risk - Red cell Exchange Trial: The Sickle Cell Disease and Cardiovascular Risk—Red Cell Exchange (SCD-CARRE) randomized clinical trial will enroll 150 adult participants with SCD in the United States and Europe. All participants will be followed on a monthly basis for one year. The SCD-CARRE trial is supported by a grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. BARI2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI) 2 Diabetes: BARI2D’s program is to research whether or not patients with Type 2 Diabetes, if preliminary treatment with angioplasty or bypass surgical treatment is superior to preliminary treatment within a medical program. BARI2D includes comparison with two approaches to manage blood sugar: on condition that providing insulin stimulating meds or meds that sensitizes the body to on hand insulinReferences
