It is likely that you are visiting this site because your physician has suggested that you enroll in a clinical trial.  In the United States, clinical trials can be funded by government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and/or by private foundations.  Several websites have been developed to assist both physicians and patients in finding appropriate clinical trials.  A few sites are listed below.  Please note: the TBCRC neither endorses nor takes responsibility for the sites listed below.

The American Cancer Society Clinical Trials Matching Service: a free, confidential program that helps patients, their families, and health care workers find cancer clinical trials most appropriate to a patient's medical and personal situation. Through a partnership with the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups, one can find research studies that are testing new drugs or methods to prevent, detect or treat cancer.

Breast Cancer Trials.org: a website that is specific to breast cancer clinical trials for both women and men. Its main feature matches people looking for a clinical trial for which they are eligible. Users can also browse trial listings by clinical trial type; e.g., chemotherapy. This website includes trials funded by the National Cancer Institute, public research foundations, and the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry.

Cancer.gov: The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, is the federal agency that provides funding for most cancer clinical trials. This site provides information on both open and closed cancer clinical trials that are funded by the government, pharmaceutical companies, and some international organizations

ClinicalTrials.gov: a website initiated by U.S. law that mandates that all clinical trials conducted in the U.S. and around the world be listed on this website. The homepage has a simple layout with links for investigators, patients, advocates, and other consumers. There is exhaustive information from the “Background Information” and “Understanding Clinical Trials” links. Sponsors include: National Institute of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. National Library of Medicine, and Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications.
