Clinical Trials at Stanford Medicine

Join our community of volunteers leading the way in transformative research

Stanford Cancer Institute offers leading-edge research and compassionate care with over 250 actively recruiting clinical trials, investigating a broad spectrum of new preventative, diagnostic, and treatment strategies. 

Stanford Pediatric Clinical Trials play a vital role in developing new therapies for a large range of conditions that affect children. These trials can help pave the way for a brighter healthier future for our youngest generation.

Healthy volunteers play a vital role in clinical studies, helping researchers learn how to keep people well. Some studies compare healthy people to those who have a specific disease or condition. 

What is a clinical trial?

Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a medical strategy, treatment or device is safe and effective for humans. These studies may also show which medical approaches work best for certain illnesses or groups of people. Clinical trials produce information that helps patients and their health-care providers make better health-related decisions.
