Clinical trials are research studies which rely on human volunteers to answer specific health questions, whether about experimental health treatments, new therapies, population studies or many more. Learn more about what a clinical trial is through the National Cancer Institute.

ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. The website provides patients with information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations and phone numbers for more details. Search results can be individualized by disease, stage, geography and BRCA, but does not individualize by a patient's prior therapy or comorbid conditions. This information should be used in conjunction with advice from health care professionals.
