Clinical Trials

welcome to CARTI clinical research

Our research team is currently working with pharmaceutical companies on over 35 clinical trials to bring advancement to oncology medicine. Clinical trials examine the safety and efficacy of new treatments, reduce the time between treatment and response evaluation, improve supportive care medications, monitor treatments in the real world setting and provide biological samples to develop tests for early cancer detection.  Here at CARTI we are proud to offer front-line research to our patients. Our goal is to work toward innovation and improvement in standard of care.  With a mission of providing the most leading-edge cancer care available, CARTI’s medical team actively participates in research projects that will impact the treatment options we are able to provide our current and future patients.


how do I participate in a clinical trial?

The purpose of our research is to engage in research-driven patient care by offering the most effective new treatment options in order to extend survival, improve quality of life and advance the knowledge of cancer treatment. If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, ask your physician if you qualify.  To make our clinical trials available to all CARTI patients, all of our physicians serve as sub-investigators; this means that your treating physician can enroll you onto a clinical trial if you are eligible. Please refer to the list below to view our active studies!

Participation in research is always voluntary. For further information on clinical trials, please visit http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
