Information for Health Care Providers

Patients often have trouble finding the information they need to make the right choices for themselves and for their families. Information about medical research studies isn’t hidden, but it isn’t always presented in terms that patients understand. What are the inclusion criteria for clinical trials? What are the potential risks? If everything goes well, what positive outcomes can patients reasonably expect?

As a healthcare provider, you can help your patients navigate the clinical trial space and find the best options for their unique situation.

At AbbVie we want to make certain that we systematically integrate diverse perspectives into our clinical research programmes. And so we are committed to being both intentional and representative when it comes to the inclusion of diverse populations of both investigator site staff and patients in the disease areas we are studying. Highlighting efforts to offer equitable access and enhanced trial experiences.

CAN YOUR PATIENTS BENEFIT FROM READING ABOUT COMPLETED ABBVIE CLINICAL TRIALS?

Sharing examples of past clinical trials with your patients can give them valuable insights into the clinical trial journey. That's why AbbVie is now making summaries of completed trials available in a dedicated online library for the general public.

These completed trial results — you may also see them being called plain language summaries or lay person summaries — are brief descriptions of the clinical trial results in everyday language that is more understandable to patients. The summaries include descriptions of what was studied and general outcomes, and we also believe the content will illustrate the valuable role participants played in the past trials and what their journeys included.
