Since 1984, the TIMI Study Group has been an Academic Research Organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge and care of patients suffering from cardiovascular disease and its risk factors. We have led a wide array of clinical trials, from phase I to phase IV, enrolling from less than 30 to more than 26,000 subjects, and with both industry and NIH support.
