Participate in a Study

The success in treating pediatric illness is the best example of success through collaboration. 

In clinical trials, researchers prescribe promising treatment regimens, monitor the patients’ responses carefully, and compare this treatment to standard treatment. More than half of all children with cancer and blood disorders in the United States receive treatment through clinical trials.

For an overview of what happens in clinical trials, read our Patient Guide to Clinical Trials, especially the section on Children & Clinical Trials.

To find clinical trials for which your child may be eligible, ask your child’s health-care team.
