What are clinical trials for cancer?
Clinical trials for cancer are research studies that aim to evaluate new ways to prevent, detect, or treat cancer. These trials test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments, procedures, or drugs in comparison to current standards. They may also show which medical approaches work best for certain types of cancer or groups of people.
The importance of clinical trials in cancer research
Cancer clinical trials are crucial for developing new methods to fight cancer, improving patient outcomes, and may offer participants access to cutting-edge therapies before they are widely available.
Types of cancer clinical trials
Oncology clinical trials are designed to address different aspects of cancer care, including how to treat cancer, prevent it, find it early, or improve the quality of life for people with cancer. The main types are:
Treatment trials
Treatment trials test new treatments or new combinations of treatments, such as new drugs, new surgical techniques, or new radiation therapies. The goal is to find more effective ways to treat cancer with fewer side effects.
Prevention trials
Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent cancer in people who have never had cancer or to prevent cancer from returning. These trials may include studying medicines, vaccines, vitamins, minerals, or lifestyle changes.
Screening trials
Screening trials test the best way to detect cancer, especially in its early stages. These trials study new examinations or tests that might be more effective, safer, or less invasive than the current standard screening methods.
Quality of life trials for cancer survivors
Quality of life trials (or supportive care trials) explore ways to improve comfort and the quality of life for individuals with terminal types of cancer and cancer survivors. They may study issues such as managing side effects of treatment, physical, psychological, and social side effects of cancer and its treatment.
Who can participate in oncology trials?
Eligibility for oncology trials varies widely depending on the study's objectives. Factors can include the type and stage of cancer, previous treatment history, age, gender, overall health, and other medical conditions. Researchers conducting the trial set specific criteria for each trial to ensure accurate and reliable results and to keep participants safe.
What to expect when participating in a cancer clinical trial
Participating in a cancer clinical trial often involves detailed screenings, regular health check-ups, and a structured treatment plan. Participants may receive the new treatment being tested, a standard treatment for their cancer, or a placebo, depending on the trial's design. Throughout the trial, researchers will monitor the health of participants and the effectiveness and side effects of the treatment.
Benefits and risks of participating in cancer clinical trials
Participating in cancer clinical trials offers potential benefits, including access to new treatments before they are widely available and contributing to medical research that may benefit others in the future. They also receive close monitoring from a dedicated healthcare team.
However, there are also risks, such as the new treatments under study are not always better than the standard care, and there may be unexpected side effects. Participation may also require more of their time and attention, including trips to the study site, more treatments, hospital stays, or complex dosage requirements.
