Current Research Trials

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):
Several studies are under way at our Mayfield Village office to test new biologic therapies for the treatment of moderate to severe RA. The study drugs are administered by injections; intravenous infusions; or oral medications at several intervals during the study. Several of the trials also offer an open label extension that would allow receiving the study medication for an extended period of time. During these studies patients are closely monitored and will return to the office for blood draws and completion of questionnaires. To see if you qualify for a study you can contact Jennifer at (440) 449-8277 ext. 225 jennifer@dmandelmd.com or Patricia at (440) 449-8277 X211 patty@dmandelmd.com at the Mayfield Village office. Qualified participants will receive study-related medications, medical exams and lab tests at no cost.
If you have any questions about our RA studies or would like more information please contact one of the study nurses listed above.

Osteoarthritis (O/A):
If you have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) of your knee or hip you may be able to participate in a study for a new pain medication. The study involves receiving a new study medication along with approved oral meds if needed. The study meds, labs and exams are at no cost. You would be required to return to our office for blood draws and exams. For information on this study and other OA studies please contact Jennifer at (440) 449-8277 ext. 225 or email at jennifer@dmandelmd.com

RA or OA PAIN:
We are now participating in a large country-wide study for OA or RA pain using an FDA Approved oral medication. Participation in the study will require you to return to our office for blood draws and exams. For information on this study and other OA studies please contact Jennifer at (440) 449-8277 ext. 225 or email at jennifer@dmandelmd.com .

Osteoporosis:
If you have tried standard medications for the treatment of osteoporosis and have had trouble staying on the medication we now have a study for a new once a month medication. Participants in the study are required to return to the Mayfield Village office for blood draws and exams along with bone density testing. For information on this study please contact Peggy at (440) 449-8277 ext. 225 or email at peggy@dmandelmd.com
