In order to promote the listing of new drugs and provide opportunities for more patients to test new drugs, the top three hospitals are currently carrying out clinical research on new drugs. Trials of new drugs often select patients whose lesions progress after conventional drug treatment fails or are effective, or whose current drug treatment is less effective. If a patient is willing to participate in a new drug study and is screened to meet the criteria, the patient will be provided with a free clinical study drug, and free treatment and examination related to the study will be available.
