Clinical Trials: The New Dedicated Section on the INOC Website
To mark International Clinical Trials Day—celebrated annually on May 20—INOC (Candiolo National Cancer Institute) is launching a new section of its website entirely dedicated to clinical trials in oncology. Through this tool, you can view active trials at INOC — the Candiolo National Oncology Institute—in real time, learn about research progress, and check whether there are opportunities to participate that are suitable for your clinical situation, keeping in mind that access to each study is guided by specific eligibility criteria and the medical team’s evaluation.
What Are Clinical Trials?
Clinical studies, also known as trials, are scientific research projects that evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new treatments. Their goal is to prevent, diagnose, or treat cancer , or to improve existing therapies. They are one of the key drivers of medical progress and provide a real opportunity to access innovative treatments.
What You’ll Find in the New Section
The new section of the website provides up-to-date information on active clinical trials at INOC and offers clear answers to frequently asked questions about how and why to participate in a clinical trial. This tool is designed to be accessible and useful for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. To make it easier to navigate, the platform includes a search engine for clinical trials, which allows users to view, in real time, the trials currently active at INOC—the National Oncology Institute of Candiolo.
The search engine helps identify options that may be in line with your treatment plan, but eligibility for participation must always be evaluated and confirmed by the INOC medical team.
For INOC—the Candiolo National Cancer Institute—making this information available in a simple and transparent way is an act of care in itself: it means raising awareness, bridging gaps, and connecting those undergoing cancer treatment with the opportunities offered by research.
The new section is already online and available on the official website of INOC—the Candiolo National Oncology Institute.
