In honor of World Liver Day 2025 on April 19, Arizona Liver Health, VEN Centers, and Arizona Clinical Trials are proud to join the global movement to raise awareness about liver health. This year’s theme, “Food is Medicine,” emphasizes the critical role of nutrition in maintaining liver function and preventing liver diseases.

A balanced diet rich in whole foods—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins—can significantly reduce the risk of liver conditions such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, we acknowledge that access to nutritious food is not always equitable. It’s essential to advocate for policies and community initiatives that make healthy eating more accessible to all.

Join us in spreading the message that every meal is an opportunity to support your liver health. Together, we can make informed choices and advocate for a healthier future.

#WorldLiverDay #FoodIsMedicine #LiverHealth #ArizonaLiverHealth #VENCenters #ArizonaClinicalTrials

As awareness grows around chronic diseases, mental health, and the power of prevention, we’re proud to be part of a movement that brings healthcare closer to home—and to everyone.

On this World Health Day, take a moment to invest in your health.

✔️ Get screened.

✔️ Join a study.

✔️ Protect your future.

Because when we care for ourselves and each other, we move one step closer to a healthier, more equitable world.

September is Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) Awareness Month! 🌟

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a rare autoimmune liver disease that primarily affects women between the ages of 40 and 60, but it can impact others too. PBC often starts quietly, with symptoms like itching, fatigue, and brain fog. As the disease progresses, more severe symptoms like jaundice and abdominal pain may appear. Early detection and treatment are key to managing PBC and improving outcomes.

This September, let`s shine a light on Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and foster understanding. PBC is often misunderstood, it`s not related to alcohol use—it`s a serious condition that warrants our attention. By raising awareness, we can empower those living with PBC and support early diagnosis, leading to better outcomes and a stronger community.💙

Participating in a clinical trial offers many benefits, especially in advancing science. Here are four key reasons:

1.Development of New Treatments:

Clinical trials help create and approve new treatments. Participants provide data on how well new drugs or devices work and how safe they are, which is crucial for making these treatments available to everyone.

2.Advancing Medical Knowledge:

Participants help researchers understand diseases better. The data collected shows how diseases work and how different people respond to treatments, leading to more effective future therapies.

3.Improving Future Patient Care:

The results from clinical trials improve medical guidelines and treatments. By volunteering, participants help ensure that future patients receive better, evidence-based care.

4.Validating Scientific Theories:

Clinical trials test scientific theories to confirm if they are correct. This rigorous testing ensures that only proven treatments are used in medical practice, driving scientific progress.

If you are ready to help advance scientific research by participating in a clinical trial, contact us today! www.azclinicaltrials.com

In clinical trials, particularly those involving new drugs or treatments, there are several phases. Each phase has a specific purpose and involves different types of participants. Phases 2 and 3 are critical stages in the development of a new treatment, and here`s a detailed explanation focusing on the early detection of adverse events in healthy volunteers:

Clinical Trial Phases Overview

Phase 1: Primarily focuses on safety. A small group of healthy volunteers (or patients) receive the treatment to determine its safety and dosage range and to identify side effects.

Phase 2: Involves a larger group of people (usually patients with the condition the drug aims to treat) to assess efficacy and further evaluate safety.

Phase 3: Expands to an even larger group of patients to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the treatment to be used safely.

In some cases, Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials are combined. This approach can speed up the drug development process by allowing for more rapid progression from early efficacy assessments to large-scale confirmation of effectiveness and safety. In a Phase 2/3 clinical trial involving healthy volunteers, the primary focus is on the early detection of adverse events to ensure participant safety, optimize dosing, and provide essential safety data for regulatory approval. Through rigorous monitoring and data analysis, researchers aim to identify and manage any negative effects of the treatment promptly, contributing to the overall goal of developing safe and effective new therapies.

Join us in paying tribute to and remembering the U.S. military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the Armed Forces. We are forever grateful for their service.

It`s a chance to be part of cutting-edge research that could improve not just your own health but also that of others in the future.

Finding participants for clinical trials is often the most challenging part of completing a study. This is mainly due to the stigmatization associated with misconceptions or false information surrounding clinical trials. These stigmas serve as a barrier not only for clinical trial participation but also for individuals to seek health care in the first place.

Here at Arizona Clinical Trials, the participants are the number one priority - our physicians get involved early on to speak to the risks and benefits of the clinical trial. We provide detailed information about the study so potential participants can privately assess whether the study may be relevant to them. We also try to understand each person’s motivation to participate and make time to answer participant questions and concerns whenever they come up.

There is no denying the immense value of clinical trial research on public health. While the advancements from research may not always be visible, they have undoubtedly impacted our society. Arizona Clinical Trials comprises experienced clinical research coordinators passionate about finding innovative therapies for all patients. Our mission is to bring new treatments and therapies for all patients through our vibrant clinical trials program.
