Clinical Trial Matching Service‏

I received the following message from the Lung Cancer Alliance via Facebook:

Lung Cancer Alliance and EmergingMed have joined forces to make sure patients diagnosed with lung cancer know all of their treatment options - including clinical trials. The matching service is a pre-screening and referral service that quickly identifies clinical trial options that match each person's specific diagnosis, stage and treatment history.

Our Clinical Trial Specialists are available by telephone to guide patients, families and health care professionals through a search of hundreds of lung cancer studies in the United States and Canada. After the first pre-screening conversation, the same clinical trial specialist will follow-up with you by telephone to make sure:

• trial sites call you back.
• your clinical trial questions are answered.
• you receive detailed study information to share with your medical team.
• you are not alone in the process!

Our service is designed to give you more time to discuss clinical trial options with your medical team, and more time to weigh the risks and benefits of all treatment options.
