Research is the first step in developing new pancreatitis treatments, and patients are an essential part of the whole research process- from the idea stage to the FDA-approval.
In this webinar, Joshua Henderson, our Chief Cure Strategy Officer, breaks down where we are in the landscape of pancreatitis treatments, how many pancreatitis treatments are we tracking in our drug development pipeline and the vital role patients and caregivers play in participating and helping move that research forward.
You’ll come away understanding how research progresses, how different types of studies contribute to developing treatments, and what your rights and responsibilities are as a research participant so you can find and enroll in pancreatitis clinical trials and studies.
Key Topics from the Webinar
How treatments are developed, from the idea stage through FDA approval
The difference between clinical trials and observational studies, and which may be right for you
Why patient and caregiver participation is essential to advancing pancreatitis research
Trials and studies you can join now, including the stem cell trial for chronic pancreatitis and Pirfenidone trial for recurrent acute pancreatitis patients.
How Mission: Cure works with researchers to make studies more patient-centered
The session ends with a live Q&A with Joshua.
