A NEW report from Cancer Trials Ireland has estimated national cost savings of €14.8m over four years from a sample of 18 cancer trials involving 249 patients, with 30 Limerick patients involved in two trials estimated to have contributed €2.4million of that figure.
According to the organisation, the report, The Value of Cancer Clinical Trials, demonstrates the value that investment in cancer clinical trials brings to patients, the health service, and the wider Irish economy.
Following on the analysis, Cancer Trials Ireland is calling for a significant increase in government investment in cancer clinical trials and increased funding for Cancer Trials Ireland itself.
