Where are clinical trials conducted and who pays for the expense?
Clinical trials for mesothelioma are typically conducted at cancer centers and clinics. Depending on the phase of the trial, it may be conducted at a specialized center or at a neighborhood clinic as a part of a broad study. In many cases, health insurance pays for the costs of the clinical trials but that is not always so. Some health insurance plans do not cover experimental or investigational treatments. The government sponsors a number of treatments as well as doctors, private donors and pharmaceutical developers who have an interest in creating drugs and treatments for mesothelioma.
