Clinical Trials in Integrative Oncology

Clinical trials are strictly controlled human studies of new and emerging therapies.

Clinical Trials of Integrative Oncology Currently Enrolling Patients

Please note: This list is current as of September 2008, but may not include all complementary therapy trials being conducted at that time. This is because some investigators must do their own recruiting for specific types of patients. Refer to Understanding Clinical Trials for what you need to know before enrolling in a clinical trial.
