My MO only checks for trials at my cancer center but I know there is so much more out there for us. How are you all going about finding trials?

Finding clinical trials beyond a single cancer center can open up more treatment options. Consider checking ClinicalTrials.gov, which is the national database of clinical studies, and you can search by cancer type and location. Some cancer advocacy organizations also maintain trial databases, and getting a second opinion at another cancer center might reveal additional opportunities. Many patients find it helpful to work with a patient advocate or ask their care team about referring to institutions that specialize in clinical research. What resources have others in the community found most useful for expanding their trial search?

This app! Click on the treatment section and you will see a tab for Clinical Trials at the top. It provides a list of trials that might be a good fit for you based on details you shared about your diagnosis.

I sent a message through the app and a nurse helped build a list of options for me!

My nurse navigator actually helped me find the one I am on. But he goes above and beyond I think compared to what I’ve heard of other
