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/
