Frequently Asked Questions
At how many hospitals is this clinical trial being conducted?
"Along with 74 other research facilities, this study is also being conducted at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, Michigan, Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas."
How many test subjects are involved in this experiment?
"Yes, the information on clinicaltrials.gov says that this trial is actively recruiting participants. The clinical trial was first posted on 2/15/2022 and was most recently edited on 10/10/2022. The clinical trial is admitting 120 patients at 74 sites."
Are there any other precedents for this kind of trial using nab-sirolimus?
"Nab-sirolimus is being studied in 130 different active clinical trials, with the majority of those studies being Phase 3 trials. The research for this medication is primarily based in Cincinnati, Ohio; however, there are 1084 total locations running these clinical trials."
Are investigators still enrolling patients in this research project?
"The information on clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this trial is looking for patients at the moment. The study was originally put up on February 15th, 2022 and was last updated on October 10th, 2022."
What are the conditions that nab-sirolimus is meant to address?
"Nab-sirolimus can help patients that have been affected by liver disease, kidney disease, and transplant rejection."
Has the nab-sirolimus drug been federally sanctioned in the United States?
"Nab-sirolimus falls into the category of 'Phase 2' drugs, meaning that while there is some evidence indicating it is safe, none has been gathered to confirm its efficacy. Our team at Power estimates nab-sirolimus's safety to be a 2 on a scale from 1 to 3."
