间皮瘤临床试验的潜在益处
临床试验是对治疗特定疾病的新药和程序的安全性和/或有效性的研究。临床试验通常分为三个阶段：
- Stage 1: Tests the safety of the drug in a small group of patients.
- Stage 2: Tests the safety and efficacy of the drug in a larger group of patients.
- Stage 3: Compares the drug’s safety and efficacy to the current standard of care in a large group of patients. Stage 3 clinical trials are usually blinded, with some patients receiving the current standard of care and some receiving the new drug or treatment.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine keeps a database of privately and publicly funded clinical studies conducted around the world. lists current clinical trials for mesothelioma. As of November 2017, there were 330 clinical trials for mesothelioma. Eighty-six of these trials were recruiting patients.
任何新药或新程序的试验都会带来潜在的好处和风险。有些药物可能被证明比当前的护理标准更有效。其他药物可能效果较差，并且可能有不可接受的副作用。在您决定是否参加临床试验之前，您应该与您的医生讨论潜在的治疗方法。
