Patients

At the Cura Project Institute, we believe that research saves lives. Each scientific breakthrough, each successful clinical trial represents a new opportunity for hope for patients, a chance to improve outcomes and quality of life.

Information and awareness

Our fundamental purpose is to positively impact patients' lives, offering them hope, support, and access to the latest scientific discoveries in the fight against this devastating disease. One of the main objectives of the Cura Project Institute is to make society aware of the benefits of research in confronting cancer. Awareness is the first step towards information, and that is why we commit to holding events, actions, and campaigns to educate the public about the fundamental role of clinical research in the search for lasting solutions to cancer.

We realized that it is necessary to connect the entire society by raising awareness about the emergency of joining efforts to make Brazil move forward in this scenario.

For this we need a lot of awareness, education and investments. The main challenge of the Cura Project Institute is to sensitize society to the fact that cancer is currently our greatest enemy at the global level. A series of initiatives are being implemented to place Latin America on the world map of cancer research: the Cura Project Institute is one of them.

Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions about clinical trials, eligibility, and patient support.

What is Clinical Research?

It is through clinical research that medicine evolves. Research is essential so that we can learn more about diseases, develop new drugs, vaccines, and tests.

How to participate in clinical research?

Find out if there are any open clinical studies that consider the characteristics of your disease. Talk to your doctor to find out if treatment is available through a clinical trial.

Where can I consult the clinical research in recruitment?

There are some platforms, sites, and research dissemination profiles. O @projetocura @lacogcancerresearch And the @pesquisaclinicacancer they always publish open studies.
