Clinical Trials are Research Studies designed to test new treatments and procedures. A Clinical Trial is set up at the end of a long and careful clinical research process in order to test a newly developed drug or procedure which shows promise.

 

By taking part in clinical trials, cancer patients help doctors to test if new approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment are safe and effective. Due to progress made through clinical trials, many people treated for cancer are now living longer and more cancers are being cured.

Many new drugs or different combinations of existing drugs are in clinical trials worldwide for ovarian cancer.
