ClinicalTrials.gov was launched in February 2000. It contains more than 8,600 clinical trials, and about 34 new trials are added each week.  The FDA has mandated that drug sponsors list *all* studies that treat life-threatening disease in this *centralized* database.  

Queries are questions that you ask of a database.  Here's an example in plain language: List studies for lymphoma for untreated patients where the treatment includes antibodies, but not chemotherapy. This query will "filter out" or exclude all other studies, letting you review only what's of interest. Importantly, we do this for you. You need only click the links. And as the clinical trial database (list) changes over time, the results of the query will also change.

The majority of respondents — 61% — said that patients should be discouraged from using 
off-protocol treatments. A smaller number — 31% — said they should not be available at all. 
More than half the oncologists surveyed said that patients considering trial enrollment should 
be informed if an investigational therapy is available; 34% disagreed. A total of 26% of 
respondents thought that patients considering enrollment have a right to off-protocol 
treatment; 56% said this is not the case.

Kornhaber said the findings were troubling because clinical trials are such a crucial step in the development of new treatments and are often the only remaining hope for patients. 

"For many cancer patients, clinical trials present an opportunity to take advantage of promising new treatments not yet available and may offer new hope for patients when the standard treatments are not effective," Kornhaber said. 

She added that most types of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are not curable, yet many promising therapies are being tested in clinical trials to assess if they will delay the progression of disease and/or reduce side effects compared to standard therapies. "
