Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC)
Clinical Trials
It’s important to stay up to date on the latest research developments.
Understanding clinical trials
You may have heard of clinical trials while researching LGSOC. Clinical trials are studies run by healthcare professionals (HCPs) that can determine if a new medicine or treatment works and is safe for people to use. All new medicines and medicine combinations must go through clinical trials before they can be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Clinical trials study different aspects of medicines and how they interact with the body. HCPs will determine the safest dose, which side effects are caused by the treatment, and if the treatment is effective.
Clinical trials for LGSOC
Clinical trials going on right now that could lead to breakthrough treatments for people with LGSOC.
Treatments that have been shown to work in other cancers, as well as new therapies, may lead the way for more options to treat LGSOC in the future. Groundbreaking new approaches that could lead to treating LGSOC in a completely different way are being tested as well.
Take part
By signing up for a clinical trial, you may have the chance to try one of these new medicines before they are approved by the FDA. Taking part in a clinical trial may be life-changing, so it’s important that you consider signing up for a clinical trial if you are eligible.
These studies are investigating treatments or outcomes that have not received approval from a health authority. There is no guarantee that the outcome of these studies will result in approval.
