Clinical trials are biomedical research studies for patients that follow a pre-defined protocol. The majority of clinical trials at SNCC are interventional studies, meaning patients are assigned to a treatment or other intervention and their outcomes are measured. These outcomes are then compared to the best available standard therapy.

There are several benefits to participating in clinical trials including:

• Playing a more active role in one’s own health care
• Gaining access to novel treatments
• Helping others by contributing to medical research

Research is part of our commitment to innovation, providing access to new treatments that are not yet commercially available. We offer a variety of research studies on promising new therapies for patients who wish to consider this option. If a specific clinical trial is not available at our center, we make every effort to find clinical trials at other centers for our patients.
