Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Medical Background and PI and Patient Perspectives on Clinical Trials, Webinar for National Women's Health Week Hosted by Xtalks

TORONTO, May 7, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) affects approximately one in five women and accounts for approximately one in three outpatient visits to gynecologists. Effects on women’s health and quality of life vary but can be profound. While existing drugs, devices and procedures moderate symptoms for many women with HMB, there is a clear need for better treatments for patients.

Join guest speaker Dr. Andrea Lukes, chief medical officer at Health Decisions, for a live session on Tuesday, May 15, 2018, at 1 p.m. EDT, as she provides a medical overview of HMB and a PI perspective on running successful HMB trials.

Also participating in the discussion will be Dr. Lukes' patient who enrolled in and completed a heavy menstrual bleeding trial. The patient will give her perspective on considerations in going through screening, recruitment, informed consent and the experience of study participation.

Key topics include:

• Medical background on HMB
   
• HMB in women with bleeding disorders
   
• A PI’s perspective on HMB clinical trials
   
• A patient’s experiences in an HMB trial
   
• Why CRO choice is important in HMB trials

The webinar will include a live Q&A with the audience. Dr. Lukes will then close with a discussion of why CRO choice is important in HMB studies.
