Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Clinical Trials at National Institutes of Health
The NCI Center for Cancer Research (CCR) conducts more than 150 cancer clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Branch conducts clinical trials of stem cell transplant-based treatments for several types of cancer, including lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma, as well as for immune deficiency conditions that may become cancer. For more information, call 301-435-1623 between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Eastern time. A branch member will obtain relevant information by phone, may request medical records, and will discuss open trials for which the patient may be eligible. A screening visit is scheduled if eligibility criteria are met.
There is no charge for medical care received at the NIH Clinical Center. You are responsible for travel costs for your initial screening visit.
