The challenge
The cost of biomedical research is great, but the cost of disease is immense. An ageing population and expensive innovations in medicine put an increasing burden on already stressed healthcare budgets.
Position of EHA on Clinical Trials
The challenge
In Europe, the number of clinical trials is steadily decreasing. From 2007 to 2010, their number has decreased by some 20 percent from 5,028 to 4,193.
Targeting the B-cell Receptor in Aggressive B-cell Lymphomas
In collaboration with Dr. Lou Staudt, Pharmacyclics and associate investigators, we performed a clinical trial of a very potent inhibitor of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) called ibrutinib.
