Where do we start?

A friend of mine who has esphagous cancer that may want to get in a clinical trial.

Where does he start?

What is the first step

Obviously the first thing to do is to talk with your doctor about clinical trials. In the U.S. clinicaltrials.gov is a great source to research clinical trials.

Hi Jobean86 ! CISCRP has a free online service to help individuals find clinical trials called Search Clinical Trials. All your friend would have to do is fill out a search request form and we can help them find clinical trials that are relevant to their needs. Here is the link: ciscrp.org/our-programs/sea...

I'll also add that your friend should try to educate himself as much as possible on clinical trials. CISCRP has a free education center with lots of information for patients: ciscrp.org/education-center/

Please encourage your friend to join this community as well for added support! I wish your friend all the best.
