Clinical Trials & Studies

Clinical Trial Finder

The Clinical Trial Finder will help you search for different clinical trials and studies ongoing in FA. To learn more about the drug development process and how clinical trials work, visit the Understanding Clinical Trials page. Using the drop-down buttons, you can filter for trials based on their status as active/closed or recruiting/recruitment closed. Active trials are those that are still collecting data, while closed trials have completed data collection. Recruiting trials are currently searching for participants, while trials that have closed recruitment no longer need new participants but continue to actively collect data. Anyone considering participating in a clinical trial should discuss the matter with their physician.  FARA does not endorse or recommend any particular studies.
