The potential treatment or device being studied only enters a clinical study after researchers test it in the laboratory. If it looks promising, scientists carefully test and collect data about the potential treatment through clinical studies. A clinical study helps us learn how an investigational treatment works in the body. Clinical studies must be reviewed and approved by a regulatory agency. In the United States, it\u2019s the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In Europe, it\u2019s the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Agencies vary by region. They decide whether to approve the investigational treatment for doctors to prescribe.<\/p><p>The first step is discovering and developing an investigational medicine to study. After that, clinical studies show if it is safe and effective and provide information on any side effects. Sometimes, researchers compare the potential medicine to a placebo. The placebo looks and is administered like the potential treatment but has no active ingredients. The potential treatment may also be compared to a standard treatment that is already approved and used for treatment. They compare it to current treatments, if available, to find out if the potential treatment is better, the same, or worse.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1312\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1312\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What is the FLAGSHIP-HN study?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1312\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1312\"><p>For more information regarding the study, visit the About FLAGSHIP-HN section.<br \/><a class=\"faqbtn\" role=\"button\" href=\"\/about-flagship-hn\/\">About FLAGHIP-HN<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1313\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1313\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Am I eligible to take part in the FLAGSHIP-HN study?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1313\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1313\"><p>To see if you are eligible, take our questionnaire in the Am I eligible?

The potential treatment or device being studied only enters a clinical study after researchers test it in the laboratory. If it looks promising, scientists carefully test and collect data about the potential treatment through clinical studies. A clinical study helps us learn how an investigational treatment works in the body. Clinical studies must be reviewed and approved by a regulatory agency. In the United States, it\\u2019s the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In Europe, it\\u2019s the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Agencies vary by region. They decide whether to approve the investigational treatment for doctors to prescribe.<\\\/p><p>The first step is discovering and developing an investigational medicine to study. After that, clinical studies show if it is safe and effective and provide information on any side effects. Sometimes, researchers compare the potential medicine to a placebo. The placebo looks and is administered like the potential treatment but has no active ingredients. The potential treatment may also be compared to a standard treatment that is already approved and used for treatment. They compare it to current treatments, if available, to find out if the potential treatment is better, the same, or worse.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the FLAGSHIP-HN study?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>For more information regarding the study, visit the About FLAGSHIP-HN section.<br \\\/><a class=\\\"faqbtn\\\" role=\\\"button\\\" href=\\\"\\\/about-flagship-hn\\\/\\\">About FLAGHIP-HN<\\\/a><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Am I eligible to take part in the FLAGSHIP-HN study?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>To see if you are eligible, take our questionnaire in the Am I eligible? section. <br \\\/><a class=\\\"faqbtn\\\" role=\\\"button\\\" href=\\\"\\\/en-us\\\/am-i-eligible\\\/\\\">Am I eligible?<\\\/a><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How many people will be taking part in the FLAGSHIP-HN study?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>About 120 people will take part in this study.
