Clinical Trials

Doctors all over the world conduct several types of research studies known as clinical trials. More than 100 scientists and physicians, nurses, social workers, and technologists at the IU Simon Cancer Center dedicate their professional lives to advancing cancer care through clinical trials.

Standard therapy does not help all cancer patients; that is why researchers at IU Simon Cancer Center continue their search for new treatments and, hopefully, new cures. Today’s clinical trials are tomorrow’s standard therapies.

Clinical trials may be an option for you. Read more about clinical trials in this section (mouse over "Clincial Trials" to the right) and how to find available trials near you.
