We Are Committed to Innovation

Cancer Partners of Nebraska offers unique access to clinical trials, thanks to our membership in two major National Cancer Institute (NCI) research networks: Alliance, as an MD Anderson Cancer Center affiliate, and ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group.

  • Patient recruitment and enrollment in promising clinical trials is essential to the work that we do.
  • Cancer Partners is the first and only community oncology practice in Nebraska to become a member institution of the NCI clinical trials network.
  • The expanded clinical trials offered here bring academic-level treatment options to our local community.
  • We have access to hundreds of new and innovative clinical trials for our patients.

Clinical Trials

See What Clinical Trials Are Open Right Now

Most clinical trials at Cancer Partners are interventional studies, meaning patients are assigned to a treatment or other intervention and their outcomes are measured. See the full list below sorted by type of cancer. If you wish to discuss a specific trial, please discuss it with your oncologist or contact our Research Department at (402) 327-7363.
