Title: Clinical Trials related to thalassemia
Post by: Narendra on March 13, 2009, 05:06:44 PM
I ran into a link which shows there are 46 total clinical trials with different aspects of thalassemia (Cure like Stem Cell, Iron Chelators, Drugs that induce Fetal HB, Factors affecting Severity of Thal etc)

The link is http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?recr=open&cond=%22Thalassemia%22&pg=1

Some of the trails are listed below:- Check the link above to see the complete list. Also, there is a filter option on the Right hand side of the page where the clinical trails are listed to see trails one is interested in
