Understanding Clinical Trials for Blood Cancers
Excerpt
U.S. clinical trials are designed to give patients the safest, potentially most effective clinical therapies. The trials are conducted once researchers have shown in the laboratory and in animal research that a particular study treatment has a good chance of offering better outcomes for people with a specific disease.
All trials follow strict scientific and ethical principles. Every clinical trial has an action plan, called a protocol. The same plan is used by every doctor at each treatment center taking part in the trial.
