At UNC we understand that as a young adult, you have unique needs, strengths, and challenges that don’t look the same for older patients.

One-on-one supportive counseling
Helping identify the best clinical trials for young adults
Problem-solving around school and work
Connections to other young adults with cancer
Referrals to specialists in financial navigation

Clinical Protocol Office – Clinical Trials

The Clinical Protocol Office (CPO) supports the design and conduct of oncology clinical trials. The CPO is responsible for patient and study coordination-related activities, including subject evaluation and registration, toxicity assessment and safety monitoring of novel therapeutics and patient education.

The CPO works to assure patient eligibility and safety, regulatory compliance, and quality, reproducible data.
