Clinical Trials & Research

New & Exciting Studies for Treatment of Thalassemia

Dear patients, families, friends, and providers: Along with patient care, medical research is a primary focus at the Comprehensive Thalassemia Center at Children’s Hospital & Research Center at Oakland (CHRCO). This special edition of the Perspectives newsletter focuses on research studies being conducted for thalassemia. This is the third Research and Care Update we have written, and we hope that this issue will be a useful tool in keeping patients, families, and the extended medical community abreast of current research, as well as educating the community on thalassemia itself. Please click here or in the left menu to download a PDF file of all the studies, or here for the online list. Patients—all of the studies mentioned here are optional. If you are interested in participating in a study, or have questions, please talk to your medical care provider.
