Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are biomedical research studies for patients who follow a pre-defined protocol. The majority of clinical trials at Morrison Cancer Center are interventional studies. This means patients are assigned to a treatment or other intervention and the outcomes are measured. These outcomes are then compared to the best available standard therapy.
There are several benefits to participating in clinical trials including:
- Playing a more active role in one’s own healthcare
- Gaining access to novel treatments
- Helping others by contributing to medical research
Research is part of our commitment to innovation, providing access to new treatments not yet commercially available. We offer a variety of research studies on promising new therapies for patients who wish to consider this option. If a specific clinical trial is not available at Morrison Cancer Center, we make every effort to find clinical trials at other Cancer Centers.
