Clinical Trials

Clinical researchers at UC Irvine's Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center work together to study cancer in all its forms and to develop some of the most innovative approaches to fighting the disease. Cancer center patients have access to leading-edge treatments and therapies through the cancer center's clinical trials long before they are available to the general public.

Clinical trials are research studies in which new therapies and treatments are tested in patients to determine whether they are safe and effective. By participating in clinical trials, patients can help improve the treatment and care for others now and in the future.
