How to Find Clinical Trials for Experimental Cancer Treatments

 

Doctors should head off the misunderstanding by routinely mentioning clinical trials early in a patient’s care as a possible future option, Ms. Lansey said. That way, patients may be less likely to believe it is being sprung on them because hope has run out.

“It’s less scary if you hear it early on,” she said.

But patients themselves are often the ones who seek out clinical trials, rather than waiting for doctors to refer them.

There are various ways to find clinical trials. Most major cancer centers post the trials in which they participate on their websites. But those listings will be limited to that hospital’s offerings. Other sites show more options.

 

The best known site is ClinicalTrials.gov, provided by the National Institutes of Health. It may seem daunting: It shows more than 50,000 studies of cancer, with some actively recruiting patients but others already finished or not yet open.
