			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>When your TYPE 2 DIABETES is out of control, finding harmony is essential.</h1>
<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble controlling your diabetes, consider participating in HARMONY, a clinical research study evaluating an investigational diabetes medication that&#8217;s taken only once a week.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s estimated that 50% of diabetics in the U.S. struggle to successfully control their blood sugar. The inconvenience of multiple daily treatments can often add to this struggle. Now, the HARMONY program is evaluating the effectiveness of an investigational, long-acting type 2 diabetes medication which may require less frequent dosing.</p>
<p>An increasing number of people are being diagnosed with diabetes, and more effective treatments are needed.   Qualified participants will receive study treatment as well as study-related medical evaluations and tests at no cost.</p>
<p>Clinical Research of West Florida is currently looking for people with Type 2 Diabetes to take part in a research study of an investigational drug for the treatment of diabetes.</p>
<p>If you are 18 or older and currently not taking any diabetic medications, we would like to hear from you. All qualified participants may receive study related medical care, study medication as well as reimbursement for travel expenses.</p>
<p>For more information, or to see if you qualify, please call 813-870-1292 For more information, call Clinical Research of West Florida at 813-870-1292 or email us at <a href="mailto:research@crwf.com">research@crwf.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Now Enrolling</h2>
<h3>About Lupus</h3>
<p>More than two million individuals in North America have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE can occur at any age in either sex. Among adults with SLE, women are 10-15 times more likely to be affected than adult men.</p>

<li>Achy and swollen joints</li>
<li>Fever more than 100 degrees (F)</li>
<li>Prolonged or extreme fatigue</li>
<li>Rash or lesions</li>
</ul>
<h3>Treatment</h3>
<ul>
<li>NSAIDS, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are used to relieve achy joints and arthritis in SLE when pain is limited and organs are not affected.</li>
<li>Antimalarial drugs, such as hydroxycholoquine, are often prescribed for arthritis or skin problems.</li>
<li>Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are typically used when SLE affects one or more internal organs.</li>
<li>Immunosuppressive agents such as azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil help control the overactive but misdirected immune system in SLE patients.</li>
</ul>
<h2>THE MI-CP152 STUDY</h3>
<p>The MI-CP152 Study is seeking individuals with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The purpose of the MI-CP152 Study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigational medication in patients diagnosed with severe SLE.</p>
<p>Participation in the MI-CP152 Study includes as may as 24 visits to a local physicians office over a period of up to one year.</p>
<p>Participants will receive study-related medical care at no cost including: </p>
<ul>
<li>Study-related health exams
<li>Lab tests
<li>Study medication
<li>Reimbursement for time and travel
</ul>
<p><strong>Patient Inclusion Criteria = POTENTIAL STUDY VOLUNTEERS MUST:</strong></p>
