Muscular Dystrophy Canada Is Participating in Clinical Trials Quebec’s Pilot Project

Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) is proud to announce it has joined Clinical Trials Quebec’s Personalized Support Service pilot project.

The new program, developed by Clinical Trials Quebec and powered by CATALIS Quebec, is a free, bilingual resource designed to offer patients and caregivers in Quebec the possibility of finding clinical trials meeting their criteria. The service’s goal is to provide patients and their loved ones with accurate and verified information so they can initiate or facilitate discussions with their medical team about participating in a clinical trial.

Through compassionate and user-friendly support, Clinical Trials Quebec’s team of healthcare professionals guides patients and their caregivers through each step of their search and provides an overview of the clinical trials currently available. In the initial launch phase of its pilot project, the Personalized Support Service will focus solely on a few patient communities, including MDC, by offering simplified access to sometimes complex information about clinical trials.

“Research brings hope to persons living with neuromuscular disorders. The new Personalized Support Service, developed by Clinical Trials Quebec will give our clients across the province greater access to clinical trials and the opportunity to play an active role in research. Clinical trials are a crucial step in the development of new treatments that will improve quality of life”, said Marie-Hélène Bolduc, Vice-President, Programs and Services at Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

This service designed by Clinical Trials Quebec, adds to the other programs in place to improve the clinical research environment in Quebec and is an opportunity for the neuromuscular community to get an overview of the various clinical trials in currently being conducted.
