Clinical trials play a critical role in research and in making discoveries in healthcare. It’s these breakthroughs in science that help people defy the limitations of their disease. This would not be possible without the participation of patients, who are at the heart of everything we do.
When patients take part in a clinical trial, we can explore complex healthcare challenges and work together to find solutions. It is a vital part of the process in establishing the safety and efficacy of potential new therapies and in achieving the regulatory approval required to make these treatments available to the public. We deeply value the contribution of all those who have enrolled in trials.
