- Abstract
The article presents information on the issues related to clinical trials in thalassemia. It is said that a wide range of clinical trials are required to understand thalassemia and its related complications. However, a recent study shows that only 6% of the people who suffer from severe chronic illness participate in clinical trials. The Cooley's Anemia Foundation suggests to offer financial incentives to motivate the patients and to limit hospital stay to three days.
