dr. patel, tell us about some of the latest clinical trials. nih recently announced it is funding the largest-ever involving african-americans. >> that is true. one of?u'! the biggest underrepresented patients are african-american patients, minorities essentially. whatever we can do to encourage that population that's been underrepresented to partake in clinical trials will help give us more information, to guide treatments that may be specifically different for one population versus another versus differences in we know there's some disparities, sometimes we say it is socioeconomic, sometimes we say it may actually be within the patient himself and how we metabolize drugs may be different from population to population, and it is important to do that with no clinical trial for all of lymphoma and all of leukemia. i would encourage you to speak to your provider for sure, to talk to your doctor knowledgeable about this, to seek out information through resources such as leukemia lymphoma society and see what trial may be applicable to you. many pa
