Choosing to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. All clinical trials have guidelines about who can participate. Researchers use protocols with defined criteria to identify appropriate participants and maintain safety standards.
We have ongoing clinical trials for cancer treatment and prevention. For more information about UNC trials for any cancer site, please call 919-966-4432 or (toll free) 1-877-668-0683.
In addition to the trials developed at UNC there are national trials that you can learn about by visiting the National Cancer Institute website at cancertrials.nci.nih.gov or the National Institutes of Health website at clinicaltrials.gov. For commonly asked questions about clinical trials see Understanding Clinical Trials.
