TAP Trial
Trauma And Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (TAP) is one of the largest trauma trials ever conducted. It will involve up to 8,000 patients, across 140 hospitals in the United States and other countries.
The trial will evaluate the effectiveness of Kcentra®, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved product, on critically injured patients.
PROMPT Study
Researchers at Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Gainesville’s Level I trauma center are participating in an international clinical trial to study how a device could increase trauma patients’ chances of survival. NGMC Gainesville was chosen among eight leading Level I trauma centers across the United States and Canada.
Research Week
Research Week is an annual, week-long event celebrating and showcasing the research and scholarly activities of NGHS investigators.
