Discovering New Frontiers in Cancer Research

At our Clinical Research Department, we’re committed to advancing the fight against cancer through innovative and targeted research trials. Our approach includes participating in several specialized trial types, each designed to provide the most effective and timely care for our patients:

Just-in-Time Trials: These trials are initiated quickly in response to emerging research opportunities, ensuring that our patients can access the latest treatments without delay. By streamlining the trial setup process, we bring cutting-edge therapies to those who need them most, precisely when they need them.

Right-in-Time Basket Trials: Our basket trials focus on targeting specific mutations or biomarkers present in different types of cancer. By grouping patients based on these genetic markers rather than cancer type, we can test the effectiveness of new treatments across a variety of cancers simultaneously, offering a personalized approach to cancer care.

Umbrella Trials: Designed to evaluate multiple treatments within a single trial framework, umbrella trials allow us to explore various therapies tailored to different mutations found within a single cancer type. This flexible and adaptive trial design accelerates the development of targeted therapies, bringing us closer to precision medicine.

Targeted Trials: Our targeted trials aim to match patients with treatments that are specifically designed for their unique cancer profile. By focusing on the molecular and genetic characteristics of each patient’s cancer, we can deliver therapies that are more likely to be effective, minimizing side effects and maximizing treatment success.

Precision Cancer Research Trials: Precision trials are the cornerstone of our commitment to personalized medicine. By utilizing advanced genomic analysis and data-driven approaches, we identify the most promising treatment options for each individual, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care.

Join us in our mission here at Salinas Valley Health to revolutionize cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes through these innovative research trials. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
