Trials With No Placebo
Alkylating agent
Lurbinectedin + Doxorubicin for Leiomyosarcoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Boston, Massachusetts
This trial is testing a new drug, lurbinectedin, combined with an existing chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, in patients with advanced leiomyosarcoma. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and more effective than doxorubicin alone. Both drugs work by damaging the DNA in cancer cells, leading to their death. Lurbinectedin is a synthetic marine-derived anticancer agent that has shown promise in treating certain types of cancer.
Virus Therapy
Tabelecleucel for EBV Associated Diseases
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Boston, Massachusetts
This trial tests tabelecleucel, a treatment using special immune cells, in patients with certain diseases related to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) who can't use or don't respond to standard treatments. It works by enhancing the immune system's ability to attack virus-infected cells. Tabelecleucel is being tested for recurring or hard-to-treat EBV-related diseases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
