It is also important for us to serve those who need us most and to reach the largest number of people with ovarian cancer. Ovarian Cancer Canada is proud to partner with Clinical Trials Quebec’s Personalized Clinical Trial Support Service, CATALIS’ newest initiative, to provide the Quebec ovarian cancer community with access to vital resources and information about clinical trials.” – Tania Vrionis, Chief Executive Officer, Ovarian Cancer Canada
“As General Director of Parkinson Québec, I am aware of the daily challenges faced by people living with this disease and their families. Access to quality clinical trials represents a unique opportunity to participate in the discovery of promising therapeutic solutions and benefit from the best possible care. That is why we are proud to partner with CATALIS, a leader in the field of clinical research in Quebec, which will support us throughout this process.” – Caroline Champeau, General Director, Parkinson Québec

This last point is also vital to paving the way for promising therapeutic solutions and discovering the best possible care.” –Diane Collard, Executive Director, Scleroderma Quebec

As a result, the Sickle Cell Anemia Association of Quebec feels privileged to have access to Clinical Trials Quebec’s Personalized Clinical Trial Support Service, CATALIS’ newest initiative. Through this collaboration, patients suffering from this genetic blood disease called sickle cell anemia can have access to information on available clinical trials in order to benefit from potential treatments more quickly.”– Wilson Sanon, President, Sickle Cell Anemia Association of Quebec
