Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Prostate cancer clinical trials can be an effective treatment option for patients with prostate cancer. A clinical trial is a research study carried out by doctors, scientists, or researchers to study a brand-new drug or intervention and decide its effectiveness. All new treatments and procedures are completely evaluated by specialists throughout different phases before being launched to the public, which is a process that may take several years.

Prostate cancer clinical trials must follow strict guidelines to ensure the study is well planned, safe, and truthful to anyone participating. Clinical trials have enrollment criteria to ensure the best patients for the treatment are enrolled. Medical records and tests are reviewed before any therapy is administered.
