Six areas of clinical research
Three cancers, a liver infection, a skin condition and a muscle condition. Each page explains the research in plain words; none of them lists or recommends a particular study.
Oncology
Lymphoma & LeukemiaCancers of the blood and lymph system, from first treatment to relapse and long-term follow-up.
Oncology
Melanoma & Skin CancerMelanoma and other skin cancers: immune treatments, surgery, prevention and early detection.
Oncology
Colorectal CancerCancer of the colon and rectum: screening, surgery, chemotherapy and targeted treatment.
Virology
Hepatitis BA long-term liver infection: research on lasting control of the virus and on protecting the liver.
Inflammation
Hidradenitis SuppurativaPainful lumps under the skin that keep coming back: research on calming the inflammation behind them.
Neurology
Myasthenia GravisMuscle weakness that worsens with use: research on medicines that target the antibodies behind it.
One kind of study from each area
Every area has several kinds of study. Here is one from each, to show how different they can be.
Lymphoma and leukemia
First treatment: Compare a new combination with the usual first treatment for a specific type.
Melanoma and skin cancer
Before or after surgery: Give treatment around an operation to lower the chance of melanoma returning.
Colorectal cancer
Screening studies: Compare blood and stool tests with colonoscopy for finding cancer early.
Hepatitis B
Lasting control: Combine new medicines with current tablets to see whether the virus stays quiet once treatment stops.
Hidradenitis suppurativa
Injected medicine: Compare an injection given every few weeks with placebo.
Myasthenia gravis
Antibody-lowering medicine: Reduce the antibodies that interfere with the muscle signal.
