They vary. You should ask your doctor if you can participate? In the U.S. there is a database where you can look up clinical trials called clinicaltrials.gov. Not sure about what there is in the UK but you can start with clinicaltrials.gov and see where that gets you. There are some non U.S. trials posted there as well.
