Research holds the key to the cure for type 1 diabetes. Funds raised by RHRF move life-altering research out of the lab and into human clinical trials. |
|
RHRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 research, such as islet transplantation. In fact, RHRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity. JDRF provided $123 million to diabetes research in AUGUST 2003, RHRF is driven by results and successes in three major cure goals: restoring normal blood sugar, preventing and reversing diabetes-related complications, and preventing diabetes. Working toward these goals, RHRF has taken the lead in nurturing human clinical trials in such critical areas as the development of transplant tolerance and alternative sources of insulin-producing cells for transplant.

| Clinical Trials for the Newly Diagnosed |
| |
| While raising money to fund research is critical to our mission, dollars alone won’t help scientists find a cure. We also need families to participate in clinical studies, providing blood samples and family histories for example, to help unlock the mysteries of type 1 diabetes. Below you will find information about clinical trials focusing on diabetes research |
| |
| What Is a Clinical Trial? |
| |
| Clinical trials are research studies used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. The decision to participate in a clinical trial is very personal and should be made only after speaking with your health care provider and other individuals you trust. You can stop participation in a clinical trial at any time if new concerns arise or you lose confidence that its potential benefits outweigh its risks |
