Clinical Trials

Within our clinical service, there are occasions where participation in a clinical trial is a good choice for patients, either to access therapies not otherwise available for their condition or because it is unclear which of the available choices is the optimal one.

Under the governance of South Western Sydney Local Health District Ethics Committee, participation in clinical trials may be offered to our patients in areas that include Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), Hepatocellular (Liver) Cancer, Viral Hepatitis and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Each year clinical trials will vary.

When you attend our clinical service you may be invited to consider information about clinical trials available for your condition. Clinical trials will remain a small but important part of our work, ensuring patients can access cutting edge new therapies and that as clinicians we are always questioning existing practices and alert to new treatments that may improve patient outcome.
