How to Find Clinical Trials
The National Cancer Institute, drug companies, medical
institutions, and other organizations sponsor clinical trials.
Clinical trials take place in many settings, such as
cancer centers, large medical centers, small hospitals,
and doctors' offices.
The National Cancer Institute maintains the most complete
database of cancer clinical trials in the country. This database
is called PDQ®. The following resources from the National
Cancer Institute can help you search PDQ® and see if there
is a trial for your type and stage of cancer.
