We’re committed to our mission of finding new treatments that may help improve the lives of people with cancer. Our clinical trials for pediatric cancer study investigational medications alone, or in combination with other study medications, or standard of care therapy. We perform these trials to see if they can help prevent, find, or treat cancer.

Pediatric cancers are cancers that occur in children. There are often differences in the types of cancers children get versus adults. Children also seem to respond better than adults to most treatments.

Children are most often treated by teams of specialists who understand the unique needs of children and their loved ones.

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial. Any clinical trial includes risks, which the study doctor will review with you. Make sure you understand the risks before participating.
