Research & Clinical Trials

Thalassemia at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland

Children’s Hospital has a renowned thalassemia research program. Our research allows us
to offer patients and families the most up-to-date and innovative therapies. Research done at Children’s
has led to many advances in thalassemia treatment. As part of each thalassemia patient’s care, we
consult with your family about studies your child may be qualified to participate in. Patients are never
obligated to join any study; if a family chooses not to participate in a study, their child will still receive
high quality healthcare. Our research and clinical teams work together to provide the highest quality,
integrated healthcare possible. We look forward to talking to you and your family about research
studies available for patients.
