National Clinical Trials Network Groups

In the United States, publicly-funded cancer research is led by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and its National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). The NCTN comprises five organizations dedicated to conducting cancer research and clinical trials—plus a sixth group in Canada. Four of the US-based organizations focus on cancer in adults, while the fifth leads childhood cancer research. NCTN clinical trials lead to breakthroughs in cancer care, helping to establish novel treatment approaches, test new drugs and therapies, and improve the quality of life of people with cancer.
