Pediatric Research

Expanding new or existing treatments for pediatric conditions cannot be achieved without clinical trial volunteers. We understand that participating in a clinical trial is a deeply personal decision and choosing the best care option for your child can feel overwhelming. It’s important to take time to gather information and discuss your treatment and investigational options with your child’s doctor, your family, or others in your support system.

Why consider a clinical trial for your child?

Clinical trials are research studies that are designed to learn more about how to prevent, detect, and treat various diseases. They potentially can also help people with long-term illnesses improve their day-to-day experience living with their illness. Without research, doctors are unable to know the best ways to diagnose and treat children of all ages. Before deciding if a clinical trial is a good option for your child, it’s important to learn more about the study, including its risks and benefits. Learn More
