WHEN CAN RESEARCH IMPACT A CANCER PATIENT? Any time after initial diagnosis, an investigational agent may be evaluated and possibly used in conjunction with standard treatment. For individuals who have failed all standard cancer treatments, a clinical trial offers access to the latest targeted therapies under investigation, with the goal of providing HOPE for extended survival. Patients who enroll on promising clinical trials may have access to therapies years prior to their approval by the FDA.
