Clinical trials
Your doctor may also encourage you to participate in clinical trials that study new ways to treat metastatic NETs. Clinical trials are research studies evaluating the safety and effectiveness of investigational therapies in patients. By participating in a trial, you may get early access to developing treatment options and, at the same time, help improve care for other patients with NETs.
Clinical trials occur in phases. This is better explained in the image below. Your doctor will go through all the specific details of any trial with you
