Phase I Program at Inova Schar Cancer

About the Phase I program

The doctors in our Phase I Program match patients to the best clinical trial for their needs. We do not use a placebo, so every patient receives the therapy that’s best for them. Our program includes:

• Expert team: Our Phase I Program features leading researchers and board-certified medical oncologists with decades of experience in cancer treatment. Specialized nurses and research coordinators support patients throughout the trials and provide regular updates to referring physicians.
• Novel therapies: The Phase I clinical trials in our clinic offer latest innovations in cancer care. These promising new treatments are offered at only a few cancer centers worldwide.
• Precision medicine: Many of our Phase I trials feature therapies that are customized for a person’s genetics. With this approach, we treat both rare and common tumors with personalized care that addresses the patient’s unique needs.
• Safety: Our team follows patients closely to ensure their well-being throughout the trial. We monitor the treatment’s efficacy and manage any side effects.
• Focus on diversity: Through our clinic, we reach out to people with various ethnic, financial and medical backgrounds in our community. We’re studying how these therapies work in a diverse group of people, advancing cancer care in our community and across the world.
