Learn how clinical trials in oncology and hematology work and discover how to receive innovative, fully-funded treatment.
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials play a fundamental role in the search for innovative cancer treatments.
They allow us to identify which therapies work and which do not, as well as evaluate side effects compared to potential clinical benefits for every patient.
How clinical trials work
Participating in a clinical trial may differ slightly from standard routine care. For instance, you will undergo more frequent consultations and specialized monitoring.
This occurs because clinical trials follow strict international scientific protocols, with meticulous supervision by physicians and nurses to safeguard patient well-being and guarantee robust results.
Participant Safety & Rights
Participant safety in clinical trials is paramount. Prior to initiation, studies undergo rigorous evaluation and approval by regulatory agencies and independent ethics committees, and are supervised continuously.
Participation in a clinical trial is entirely voluntary. You retain the legal right to end your participation at any time, and your medical decision will always be respected.

It is completely natural to feel uncertainty when considering clinical trial participation. However, millions of people worldwide have benefited from courageous volunteers in previous trials, resulting in more effective treatments.
Furthermore, in many cases, participating in a clinical trial may be the only pathway to advanced therapies in the region.
Phase 3 clinical studies typically combine standard therapy with a promising new agent, ensuring you consistently receive high-quality continuous care.
Participating in a clinical trial can anticipate the benefits of a breakthrough therapy by up to 5 to 8 years before it becomes widely available.
When to participate: Keep all options in mind from the very beginning!
When exploring your treatment roadmap, it is crucial to evaluate all available alternatives, including clinical trials. These studies evaluate the efficacy of emerging treatments and can represent a promising opportunity.
First-Line Treatment Opportunity
Some clinical trials specifically enroll patients who have not yet initiated treatment, making them an excellent first-line option with early access to innovative therapies.
Remember that clinical trials should not be seen as a last resort. Many studies have strict exclusion criteria that disqualify patients who waited until initial treatments failed. Discussing clinical trial options with your physician early in the process is essential.
