Tony’s story: From diagnosis to advocacy in clinical trials
In this video, Tony talks about his interest in participating in clinical trials and advocates for greater representation of Black patients in research.
The quality of the work done by all the people involved in my clinical trial was and still is incredible. At all times I was treated with respect and compassion. I am sure that if I had not participated in this clinical study, I would not be telling my story. This study did not just save my life but helped my children and my husband during a very difficult time. I am very thankful to every single person that has been part of my journey to good health.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to participate in clinical trials and to the dedicated doctors, researchers and support staff. The care and clinical support that I receive is very heartwarming. Since I started the clinical trials the team has helped understand and cope with the diagnosis.
