Clinical Trials Connection
To find a cure, JDRFI needs people with type 1 diabetes to consider participation in human clinical trials of experimental new therapies.
JDRFI’s Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trials Connection is here to help people with type 1 diabetes better understand what is involved in participating in a clinical trial, and to simplify the process of finding trials that may be of interest to them or to their family members.
The goal of this service is to serve as a resource on the latest research advances, new research studies, and information about opportunities to participate in clinical trials.
Participating in a clinical trial is an important way for people to help to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. That's particularly true today, when JDRFI's nearly 40 years of research leadership has brought us to the point where scientific advances made in the laboratory are being tested in people.
This online tool provides information about, and access to, clinical trials – both JDRF-funded and others. Through this website, people from around the world can provide criteria like the type of trial they are interested in, location, how long they have had diabetes, and how far they’d be willing to travel, and the site will let them know about studies that match those characteristics. Clinical Trials Connection can help them search for trials, compare one trial with another, and update them on new trials that might match their interest. Plus, the service provides contact information for the researchers conducting the trial, so people interested in the trial can contact them directly for more information, after discussing options with their healthcare provider.
All information provided through Clinical Trials Connection will be kept in the strictest confidence. To be an active part of research leading to a cure or obtain more information about clinical trials, please visit JDRFI’s Clinical Trials Connection at www.trials.jdrf.org.
