CIRM to host April 25 Facebook Live broadcast on stem cell clinical trials

One of the questions we see countless times involves how a clinical trial can be found for a particular disease or disorder. It’s a hugely important question and one that doesn’t always have a simple answer. It gets even more confusing when you go online and find lots and lots of “clinics” offering therapies they claim will work wonders for you and all you have to do is give them a few thousand dollars.

So how do you know what’s real and what’s not, what works and what doesn’t? Well, the folks at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) will be hosting a special Facebook Live: “Ask the Stem Cell Team About Clinical Trials” event on Thurs., April 25th from noon to 1 p.m.

A panel of experts will lead the discussion who can answer all your questions about stem cell therapies, the good, the bad and the downright ugly. What are the red flags to warn you about a particular trial? Where is the best place to find out what’s available? How much will it cost me? You can get the answers to these and other questions during this session.

Here’s where you can find out a little bit more about the event.

It will be an eye opening, informative and engaging hour and you can either join on the day and post questions for the panel to answer, or you can email them directly to CIRM beforehand at info@cirm.ca.gov.
