Clinical Trials & Research

Researchers at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's collaborate with doctors and researchers around the world to provide advanced care in more specialties and subspecialties, more expertise in every facet of care for cancer and blood disorders, and more cutting-edge treatment options. Thanks in part to these collaborations, we're introducing promising new drugs and opening worldwide clinical trials that break new ground across the spectrum of cancer and blood disorders — like our protocols targeted for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia, molecular profiling of brainstem gliomas, bone marrow transplantation for dyskeratosis congenita, and immunotherapy for relapsed neuroblastoma.
