Patient Safety

Rest assured that all clinical trials available at Cone Health have been reviewed by their sponsoring agency or organization, an institutional review board (IRB), and Cancer Center physicians, research nurses, and pharmacists to ensure they’re ethical and safe.

However, like all treatments, clinical trials have potential benefits and risks. Before deciding to join a clinical trial, talk with your care team and your loved ones about how it may affect you.

Compassionate cancer care begins with a referral.
