Mayo Clinic researchers are conducting a number of clinical trials related to the treatment of amyloidosis. These include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, which frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Mayo Clinic researchers are also working in laboratories, trying to determine what causes amyloidosis and how to use this knowledge to develop better treatments. Patients should ask their doctor at Mayo about clinical trials appropriate for their situation.
See a list of publications by Mayo doctors on amyloidosis on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.
Tim Stepanek threw himself into learning about and supporting amyloidosis research at Mayo after he was diagnosed in 2003. He died in January 2006 but his inspiration lives on. See
