Clinical Trials for Hepatitis B
Welcome to the Hepatitis B Foundation's Clinical Trials Finder
The future is bright for people with chronic hepatitis B, thanks in a large part to recent advances in medical science. Every drug must go through a testing process, which involves three phases of clinical trials, to evaluate its safety and effectiveness before being approved.
Volunteering for a clinical trial program can be very beneficial to the patient and very valuable to research, and other patients. Expensive blood work, treatment medications and doctor's visits are usually provided free-of-charge for those accepted into a study. Clinical trials also provide the opportunity to potentially benefit from the latest advances in medical science.
NOTE: The Hepatitis B Foundation sometimes is asked to help promote certain clinical drug trials. Please click here to see current opportunities.
A potential drug only advances to a clinical trial, which means testing in humans, after the drug demonstrates safety and effectiveness in the pre-clinical phase. You can read more about the process here. And you can see a current list of drugs in development for hepatitis B here.
Because there are many clinical trials around the U.S. and worldwide, it can be difficult to find the best one for you. The U.S. Library of Medicine manages www.clinicaltrials.gov, a large database that can help you find clinical trials around the world. Please note that clinicaltrials.gov does not review or approve studies listed on their site for accuracy, safety, or legitimacy of the listing.
To help you more easily find clinical trials that are specifically on hepatitis B and liver cancer drugs that may be right for you, the Hepatitis B Foundation has created a Clinical Trials Finder to help you search. You also can refer to the “How to Search” resource on www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional help navigating the website.
Please contact us at info@hepb.org if you have any questions about clinical trials.
