What is a Clinical Research Network?
Clinical Research Network is a cooperative group of clinical research centers and a data coordinating center, whose goal is to promote the evaluation of treatment strategies. The purpose of the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN) is to accelerate clinical research in the use of cell-based therapies for the management of cardiovascular diseases. The network will provide the necessary infrastructure to develop, coordinate, and conduct multiple collaborative clinical protocols to facilitate application of emerging scientific discoveries into clinical investigations. Results of Network studies are expected to be widely disseminated and to provide the scientific basis for the care of affected individuals.
