Clinical studies.

The AT-LAST research project and other clinical trials open to women are described. AT-LAST, an open-label study investigating drug dosing differences between women and men, is being conducted at 12 sites around the country. Additional studies being conducted at UCLA and USC are described. Contact information for each study is provided.
