A clinical trial is any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes.” (World Health Organization)
Clinical trials offer an opportunity for patients to participate in scientific and industry research. In a clinical trial, participants receive specific interventions according to the research plan or protocol created by the investigators. These interventions may be medical products, such as drugs or devices, procedures, or changes to participants’ behavior, such as diet.
The following clinical trials are recruiting PSC patients. PSC Partners is collaborating with the pharmaceutical companies conducting these clinical trials by adding our patient perspective to the trial protocol and by sharing clinical-trial information with the PSC community.
