Finding Clinical Trials

There are many sources of information to aid patients in locating clinical trials. No one site will contain information on all possible clinical trials so it is advisable for a patient seeking a trial to investigate several different sources of information and consult with their physician. The following is an incomplete listing of Internet-based clinical trial information:

• The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has a large amount of information regarding cancer and clinical trials including:
  • A searchable database of trials for many different kinds of cancer.
  • A clickable map that allows you to find cancer centers in particular geographic regions. The centers have their own websites with descriptions of the clinical trial available.
     
• ClinicalTrials.gov is another searchable clinical trials database.  provided by the National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine.
   
• TrialCheck™ is provided by the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups.
   
• Georgia Clinical Trials Online is provided by the GA-CORE in collaboration with the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups.
   
• Search for a clinical trial at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute
