Clinical Trials
Barwon Health has been conducting clinical trial research for more than 25 years. Our longevity and success is thanks to thousands of volunteers, who dedicate their time to support research and improve the health of our region and future generations.
Numerous studies have demonstrated better clinical outcomes for clinical trial participants irrespective of treatment allocation (active intervention or control group) because of the expert monitoring and treatment they receive as part of the clinical trial.
For more information about clinical trials in specific therapeutic areas, please contact the trial unit manager.
Adrian Costa Clinical Trials Centre
As the overarching system and infrastructure for conducting and reporting clinical trials at Barwon Health, the Adrian Costa Clinical Trials Centre will improve training opportunities, research capacity and consumer access to novel treatments in the Greater Geelong community.
