Clinical trials are an absolute lifeline for these patients. They afford patients the opportunity to receive cutting-edge care that can have a life-changing impact," said Hanny Al-Samkari, MD, a Mass General Brigham hematologist and co-director of the Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Center of Excellence at Massachusetts General Hospital. As a clinical investigator, Al-Samkari is searching for better treatments for patients like Kerry, everyday through their research efforts.
