Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Clinical Trials
Major pharmaceutical companies continually research and develop new treatments for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which must be shown to be safe and effective before doctors can prescribe them to patients. Through clinical trials, researchers test the effects of new drugs on a group of volunteers with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Following a strict protocol and using carefully controlled conditions, researchers evaluate the investigational drugs under development and measure the ability of the new drug to treat non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, its safety, and any possible side effects.
Some patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are reluctant to take part in clinical trials for fear of getting no treatment at all for their condition. This is simply not true. Patients who participate in clinical trials receive the most effective therapy available for their condition -- or they may receive treatments that are being evaluated for future use. These drugs may be even more effective than the current non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma treatment.
