Clinical Trials: For Patients
How to Enroll in a Clinical Trial
Each clinical trial looks for patients with a specific type and/or stage of cancer who are in a relatively good state of health. All patients enrolled in a particular clinical trial must be in a similar physical condition in order to accurately compare the results of experimental therapies. If you would like more information about clinical trials or participation in a clinical trial at the VCC, contact the clinical research supervisor at (802) 656-2178.
