Mesothelioma Clinical Trials: Abstracts

In order to try and find an effective treatment and cure for mesothelioma, clinical trials have been a vital part of the treatment process. These trials, carried out at institutions and hospitals all over the country, are extensive tests to determine the efficiency and side effects of any drug which has shown marked improvement when tested under lab conditions and in animal tests.

It is not guaranteed that any clinical trial will prove more successful or even as successful as treatment already being used. The purpose of clinical trials is to determine what sort of effect the new treatment or drug may have, and from there a decision can be made as to whether the treatment should be put forward for approval by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration).

Clinical trials are based around drugs which have shown signs of responding well to cancerous cells, and the purpose of these trials is to monitor the response and effects on human test subjects. The nature of each trial can differ depending on the state and location in which it is being held.
