Clinical Trials At Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center

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. Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center (SNCC) is approved by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to offer clinical trials to patients in our community. These promising novel approaches to cancer care offer additional treatment options for patients where opportunities were previously limited.

Cutting-Edge Clinical Trial Access
SNCC is able to offer expanded clinical trial access after becoming members of two major NCI cancer research networks: Alliance as an affiliate of MD Anderson Cancer Center and ECOG-ACRIN. The extensive years-long application process verified that SNCC met all membership requirements including enrollment, data quality, safety and adherence to national policies and procedures.

There are many barriers to cancer patients, especially when it comes to traveling long distances to access clinical trials. With our new NCI-network affiliations, SNCC is now able to offer a spectrum of clinical trials to our patients close to home.  Please see below for open clinical trials.
