 To find out whether a treatment works in a human, you have to ultimately test it in a human. Our current medical treatments for many diseases such as heart disease, cancer, HIV, have all been tested, first of all, in clinical trials. At Kaiser Permanente, we're proud to offer a wide array of clinical trials in many common disease conditions, such as adult and childhood cancers, infectious diseases like HIV, cardiovascular diseases, neuromuscular disorders, and many other medical conditions. One of the advantages to participating in a clinical trial at Kaiser Permanente is you don't have to go anywhere to enroll in this study. Your physician will frequently be the investigator in the study, and all your records are already here at Kaiser Permanente as a part of our medical record system, so we will know right off the bat if you qualify for this study or not. When I first began with Kaiser Permanente, HIV was largely an untreatable disease. To the advent of clinical trials, more and more effective disease therapies were developed. Now, flash forward to today, we are now able to treat HIV with one pill taken once a day, which seldomly has any side effects for most patients. That's an amazing thing to say. Hepatitis C is another disease where clinical trials have really driven medicine forward. For years, hepatitis C was a very debilitating disease for patients, and oftentimes resulted in liver transplantation or death. Through the use of clinical trials, new medications were developed that can actually cure hepatitis C. Clinical trials really have driven medicine forward here, and I'm proud that Kaiser Permanente could be a part of those clinical trials.
