Cardiovascular Clinical Research Unit

The mission of the CCRU is to enhance clinical trial operations, to expand the portfolio of investigational therapy available to patients, and to provide a platform for faculty to execute sponsor-initiated and investigator-initiated clinical science. This mission is accomplished by providing project management, regulatory support, study coordination, and by leveraging resources at Penn and beyond to lead clinical science.
