Clinical trials are a way to bring new treatment possibilities to people who have not responded to  regular therapy. All such trials are subject to rigorous standards and supervised by a special review board with federal oversight. Currently, eligible patients are referred to Massachusetts General Hospital and Norris Cotton Cancer Center, with expansion to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the near future. In this way, we hope to ensure that more people can benefit from new treatments and advancements in the fight against cancer.
