Searching Safari

On the hunt for clinical trial options but don’t know where to start?

A Guided Tour Through Clinical Trials

This course will help you gain basic literacy about clinical trials, understand how clinical trials can fit into your treatment plan and align with your personal goals, and help you build proficiency in finding clinical trials to meet your needs. At the end of the course, you will be familiar with what the next steps are after finding potential trials. Open only to COLONTOWN members. 

A Place to Help You Navigate Clinical Trials

This workshop was created with stage IV MSS patients in mind, so much of the content will be focused for this audience. This course is also intended for patients who do not need a trial urgently — the goal is to gain a list of potential trials that you can turn to if or when you need them.

This is a self-paced course for patients and caregivers. We have a live version of this workshop that happens roughly twice a year. If you are interested in attending this workshop, join the COLONTOWN community to learn more.
