Your care team can help you consider the pros and cons of whether participation in a clinical trial is right for you or your child.
Talk to Your Care Team
If you would like to participate in a clinical trial, simply talk to your care team. Your CF doctor can help you find trials you or your child might be eligible for.
If there are no studies at your CF centre, a referral can be made so you can participate in a study at another CF centre while you continue to receive your care at your care centre.
Set Up an Alert
Do you want to be notified when a new CF trial is posted? Sign up by sending CFA an email and alerts will be sent directly to your inbox when new trials are posted or when results from a trial are released.
Check the List
You’re also welcome to check the list of Current and Upcoming Approved Clinical Trials, which can be found here.
Consider Traveling to Another Care Centre
If you or your child are not eligible for a clinical trial at your local care centre, ask your care team if there is a trial at another centre that’s applicable. You may receive compensation for travel costs, which could even include airfare and hotel stay.
Your care centre will still be your primary care centre and you will need to continue going there for the management of your disease.
