Clinical Trial Participation Saved His Life

When Mark Henning Anderson was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2013 and had failed to respond to a couple standard treatments, he decided it was time to try a clinical trial treatment. Under the care of the Director of Drug Development and medical oncologist/hematologist Manish R. Patel, MD, Mark began to respond well to a treatment that later went on to become FDA-approved.

Mark says, “Without Clinical Trials, I wouldn’t be here today, to be perfectly candid.”
