Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this the inaugural trial of its type?

"Since 2014, Acalabrutinib has been thoroughly studied. Its first clinical trial (sponsored by Acerta Pharma BV) took place in the same year and involved 306 patients. The drug received its Phase 1 & 2 approval afterwards and is currently being evaluated at 75 active studies around 507 cities across 47 nations."

Answered by AI

Have any prior experiments been conducted with Acalabrutinib?

"At present, there are 75 active studies concerning Acalabrutinib with 11 trials in their final phase. Most of the clinical investigations related to this drug take place within Houston, TX; however, it is also being studied across 2427 other sites."

Answered by AI

What is the safety profile of Acalabrutinib for those in treatment?

"Acalabrutinib's safety was assigned a value of 1 due to the early phase nature of this trial, which indicates limited evidence for both efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical trial recruiting participants of all ages, or is there an upper age limit?

"The parameters of the inclusion criteria dictate that prospective participants must be at least 18 years old and not older than 130."

Answered by AI

Is this research project currently enrolling participants?

"At present, this research is not recruiting any further participants. The trial was published on August 7th 2014 and the latest update occurred on September 1st 2022. On the other hand, 1766 studies are actively seeking patients with lymphoma while 75 trials offer Acalabrutinib treatment to enrolled individuals."

Answered by AI

What is the cap on enrollees for this medical experiment?

"Though the trial was initially posted in 2014 and updated as recently as September 1st 2022, it is not currently seeking patients. There are however 1766 trials recruiting for lymphoma research and 75 clinical studies that employ Acalabrutinib actively looking to enrol volunteers."

Answered by AI

How many venues are executing this experiment?

"This clinical trial is presently recruiting from 5 distinct medical centres, including Los Angeles, Columbus and Atlanta. It may be beneficial to choose the closest site for enrolment in order to reduce travel needs."
