Brain tumor clinical trials and research
Clinical trials
Clinical trials are a major focus of the Pediatric Cancer Program
and the Falk Brain Tumor Center. The hospital offers several innovative
institutional protocols, including up front therapy for brain stem gliomas, treatment of neurofibromatosis, protocols involving
stem cell rescue and therapies for recurrent tumors. Learn more about our clinical trials in neuro-oncology, and pediatric brain tumor clinical trials listed at ClinicalTrials.gov.
