Clinical Trials at Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center

We are in the process of updating our listing of clinical trials on the website. If you need additional information about any of the trials listed or would like to inquire about other open trials, please contact Doris Coleman at (919) 668-6728. Thank you for your patience.

The Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center has over 250 clinical trials open for cancer patients. Some of these are only for one particular type of cancer. Others may be for several different types of cancer because they are in the early stages of testing. To learn more about how clinical trials work, click on the topics listed below:
