Clinical trials
Clinical trials help find new treatments to help save and improve lives.
Our progress is due in large part to the important and tough scientific questions we set out to answer with our trials and collaborations.
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are research studies with volunteers designed to learn more about how
our bodies respond to drugs or other treatments. We are grateful to the thousands of volunteers who participate in our clinical trials – making this all possible.
There are clinical trials in progress
Our medical advances can only happen through the efforts of many people, especially the patients who volunteer for clinical trials. They are our partners in research.
Policies and perspectives
We are committed to disclosing balanced, complete and accurate information about our registered clinical trials of marketed products, regardless of outcome.

Expanded Access Programs (EAP)
Participation in clinical trials should be the primary route by which patients get access to investigational medicines, and contribute to the collection of safety and efficacy data needed to support regulatory approval worldwide. For patients with a serious or life-threatening disease who are ineligible or unable to participate in a clinical trial, use of an expanded access program may be an option.

Our commitment to patients is unwavering
As long as there are patients still in hospitals, doctors and nurses desperate to add years to the lives of their patients and a world where treatments aren’t accessible to all, we will be here: fighting with all we have to deliver more, sooner.
