In addition, from March 2019, Roche has started to include information about investigator-initiated studies where Roche is a supporting collaborator. These studies are not sponsored by Roche and are included on ForPatients only if the trial sponsor agrees to such inclusion. For information on investigator-initiated studies where Roche is a supporting collaborator, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov. (Please note: this link will take you to a full listing of trials where Roche is either the sponsor or a supporting collaborator)
