What Are Clinical Trials?
Clinical trials are carefully designed research studies that investigate new treatments, therapies, or procedures for cancer patients. These trials aim to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and potential side effects of experimental interventions. By participating in a clinical trial, patients have the opportunity to receive breakthrough treatments that may not yet be widely available.
Understanding Clinical Trial Protocol
Clinical trials follow a detailed protocol that outlines the specific procedures, tests, and medications involved in the study. This protocol is designed to ensure patient safety, gather accurate data, and answer specific research questions. The protocol may include various assessments, such as blood tests, imaging scans, and questionnaires, to track the progress and response to the treatment.
