Clinical Trials

 

ROA doctors are committed to enrolling patients on clinical trials whenever possible.  Clinical trials can bring cutting edge therapies to our patients, and will help define better treatments for future generations.

Below are listed clinical trials that are available at our Ascension sites (For the Aurora trials page click here).  Efforts are made to keep this list up to date, but please understand that trials are frequently opening and closing, and not all trials are available at all sites.  Your ROA doctor will know what is available for your cancer and can answer any questions.

The information below is mainly from clinicaltrials.gov, a large public database of clinical trials.  Click on the links for more information.
