Research Protocols
At the Chihuahua Oncology Center we develop clinical research protocols together with the pharmaceutical industry, providing scientific information that will contribute to medical advances, as well as the search for new and better treatments for cancer patients.
Throughout our history, we have developed studies of different types of cancers such as; breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, among others, so we invite you to be aware of the opportunities and benefits that these programs offer.
What is a clinical trial? What do I need to know?
In its basic definition, a clinical trial is the evolution of a medicine under investigation by doctors and researchers. A clinical trial, also known as a “research study,” helps doctors and researchers learn about an investigational drug and its effect on a particular disease or condition.
What is an investigational drug?
An investigational drug is a drug that has not yet been approved for marketing and general use in the treatment of a certain disease or condition. This means that it is only available to people who participate in clinical trials.
An investigational drug must be studied through the various stages of clinical trials. When these trials are completed, the country’s medical regulatory authorities review the results and decide whether the investigational drug should be approved for marketing and general use.
