A Great Site To Learn More About Pediatric Clinical Trials

Today we wanted to recommend to you to a terrific website hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically for parents of children who are participating in clinical trials.

Although the information presented is not limited to pediatric cancer clinical trials, the site is packed with valuable information regarding the trials process; families within the childhood cancer community will find this information to be timely and helpful.

Among other things, you can learn more about:

- the importance of clinical trials in children,
- your rights while part of a trial,
- what to expect moving forward,
- where to find answers to questions you might have.

CureSearch recognizes and honors the thousands of children and their families, who, as participants in the clinical trials of the Children's Oncology Group, are invaluable research partners in advancing the science that will benefit them, and generations to follow.
