SARC Clinical Trials

Every day, our community of researchers, investigators, scientists, sarcoma centers, and biotech and pharmaceutical companies are working together in the development and support of clinical trials (studies). A list of SARC trials is provided here with a brief description and patient accrual status. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health provides an online registry and results database of clinical studies conducted around the world at ClinicalTrials.gov.
