Sidharth Anand, MD, MBA, Medical Oncologist and Hematologist, UCLA
Our Patient & Family Webinar series continues with a presentation on how and why you might want to look for a clinical trial. Clinical trials are important scientific studies used to determine if a new treatment is safe and effective, often with new medicines or protocols that the FDA has not yet approved. If you’ve ever spent time researching clinical trials for you or a loved one diagnosed with pancreatic cancer you know how challenging it can be.
To help navigate the world of clinical trials, we’ve asked Dr. Sidharth Anand, a medical oncologist and hematologist with UCLA, to share how to find a clinical trial and when it might be a prudent treatment option. Dr. Anand will also provide updates on current and hopeful pancreatic cancer clinical trials.
