Clinical Trials
Taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice for some primary thrombocythemia (PT) patients. Today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials.
Clinical trials can involve new drugs, new combinations of drugs or approved drugs being studied to treat patients in new ways such as new drug doses or new schedules to administer the drugs. Clinical trials are conducted worldwide under rigorous guidelines to help doctors find out whether new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
