Recruiting

Participating in a clinical trial allows those who have been diagnosed with a serious illness, like mesothelioma, to contribute to medical research. Each clinical trial has unique criteria and guidelines that prospective participants must meet in order to be considered for inclusion in the study. Because there are both benefits and risks to participating in a clinical trial it is always best to discuss any interest you may have with your doctor. Provided below is a list of active mesothelioma clinical trials that are still recruiting and enrolling participants.
