Clinical Trials for Patients. The Types
Every decision begins with the awareness that such can be made, that this option exists, that an alternative might be out there. The decision about participating in a clinical Trial is a serious one. Most of the times patients get access to information about clinical trials from their doctors or by recruiting companies.
The problem is that not all of the doctors know about all of the treatments in development available. Likewise, most of the recruiting companies work in a very specific area of expertise and do not reach all the patients interested in a trial.
Yes, this is an issue and we work on solving it! The purpose of FindMeCure is to provide you all of the available clinical trials in a simple and easy to understand way, so you can inform yourself and make the best possible decision for your health. Having said all that, we should admit that clinical trials will never, or least not soon, become a popular science. Drug development is built up on regulations, rules and medical language that even doctors sometimes avoid to deal with.
This is the reason why every patient needs to get armed with certain knowledge and terminology. And we are here to help with this too!
