Clinical trials are research studies in which people help test treatments or approaches to prevention or diagnosis to see whether they are safe and effective. People who take part in trials are volunteers, usually patients.
Clinical trials help doctors understand how to treat a particular illness. It may benefit you, or others like you, in the future.
If you take part in a clinical trial, you may be one of the first people to benefit from a new treatment. But there’s also a chance that the new treatment turns out to be no better, or worse, than the standard treatment.
Whether you’re a patient seeking hope, a family member looking for information, a student eager to learn, or simply curious about the progress being made, this page offers a window into the clinical trials currently taking place at hospitals in our region in the fight against sickle cell disorder, thalassaemia, and other inherited anaemias.
