Clinical trials are an essential tool in modern medicine. Clinical trials are research investigations in which people voluntarily participate in studies for new treatments and interventions to prevent, diagnose or manage blood disorders. They are crucial for the development of new medical treatments and help determine if new medicines are effective, safe and/or better than the current treatments available.

Clinical trials aim to answer the following questions in a controlled environment :
  • Does the treatment work?
  • Is the treatment safe - does it have significant side effects?
  • Is the treatment ‘better’ that other treatments already available?
  • If better, does it have less side effects?
  • Does it work faster?
  • Is it more cost-effective than other treatments?

Clinical trials are the final step in a long process that begins with research in a laboratory.

Current Clinical Trials

The Perth Blood Institute’s Clinical Trials Unit is a very active research unit, running numerous clinical trials and performing state-of-the-art research into bleeding and clotting disorders and blood cancers. We are also actively working on initiating new studies - so check back often!

We are regularly contacted to take part in new clinical trials for improved treatments for blood disorders, and we are keen to do so, as this provides Western Australians with the opportunity to access new treatments.

If you or a member of your family suffers from a blood disorder listed below you and would like to be considered for enrolment for participation in a clinical trial, please contact us on (08) 9200 4904, email info@pbi.org.au or click below button to register online.
