Drug Study Participation

Significant Clinical Trials Conducted at Valley Internal Medicine
 
When Mark Romoff, M.D., completed his third year of research in the Division of Kidney Disease at LAC-USC Medical Center, he was ready for the clinical practice of medicine and nephrology, but he knew he would miss the days of clinical trials and the excitement of research.  So, for the last several years, Dr. Romoff has been involved in a multiplicity of trials ranging from drugs to treat hypertension and medications for peripheral vascular disease to new agents for erectile dysfunction.

"This has been both challenging and very gratifying," said Dr. Romoff.

Mark Romoff, MD colleagues, Matthew Mischel, M.D., Nick DiDomenico, M.D., and Jeff Glick, M.D. are also involved in research endeavors.

Following is a list of the ongoing studies being conducted at Valley Internal Medicine (VIM).  If you have any interest in participating in one or more of these trials, please call your VIM physician or Dr. Romoff, Dr. Mischel or their respective secretaries.  Most studies cover complete medical cost and testing.  Some may pay a participation fee.  For more information, please call (818) 787-2410.

Be Prepared for Your Visit

Office visits with the physician are by appointment only.  If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, please notify our office at least 24 hours in advance. 

If this your first visit with the doctor, please allow more time.  This is to give us an opportunity to obtain all the necessary information about your condition. 

Please bring all your medications or a written list of them.  This will allow us to know exactly what medication you are taking and avoid any medication interaction errors.  If you are newly diagnosed, we encourage you to bring a close relative or friend with you to your office visit.
