Clinical Trials and Novel Therapies

As a recognized leader in clinical and laboratory research, we offer clinical trials and novel therapies for a wide range of children’s cancer and blood disorders.

Most of our patients are involved in a clinical trial or study. With over 250 active therapeutic clinical trials, our >350 researchers and 47 laboratories are pioneering the translation of discoveries to the clinic. As part of larger teams, our experts collaborate with the pharmaceutical industry and participate in major pediatric cancer and blood disorder cooperative clinical trial groups, like the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). See below for our current and featured trials.
