No matter how PAN has affected your life you can still do something powerful and positive. Below is a list of actions you can do now to help increase awareness of PAN/vasculitis in world of researchers, lawmakers, other vasculitis organizations, and the PRSN itself.

1. The VCRC Needs You!
You Need the VCRC!

Participate in the 5504: Longitudinal Protocol for Polyarteritis Nodosa Study

The Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) is conducting a clinical study on PAN. Patients are needed to participate in this study which will ultimately provide researchers with valuable information that could lead to better diagnostic methods and treatment for
PAN patients.

What is the 5504: Longitudinal Protocol for Polyarteritis Nodosa Study

Registering informs researchers that PAN patients are interested and supportive of research. This may help spur new research into the disease. Registering for the Patient Registry simply allows the VCRC to contact patients about clinical trials.

• There is absolutely no obligation to participate, although participating in a trial can be quite satisfying. There are potential new PAN studies being discussed and quite possibly a large committed patient population could have an effect on generating more interest in studying this disease.
  
• Now, instead of having to be seen monthly at one of the participating centers, patients are seen every three months, or in some cases, even annually, for a complete clinical visit. This change should make it much easier for patients who live some distance from the centers to participate. Learn more about this study
