A clinical trial is research designed to determine the most effective and safest ways to treat a disease and improve survival rates. Clinical trials often provide children with rare or hard-to-treat conditions like brain tumors with access to innovative treatments that may help where traditional options fail.
C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital is home to the largest cutting-edge pediatric cancer research effort in the state of Michigan. Our pediatric oncology program currently offers dozens of clinical trials for children’s cancers, many of which were developed here at U-M.
We encourage patients and families to contact CCPBTC-CRA@med.umich.edu for more information and a current list of trials currently available for U-M patients.
