Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP)

The Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) is a part of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that focuses on developing and evaluating new cancer treatments. It helps researchers design and conduct clinical trials to test the effectiveness and safety of innovative therapies, such as new drugs or combination treatments. CTEP collaborates with scientists, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that promising treatments are thoroughly assessed before becoming available to patients. By facilitating these trials, CTEP plays a crucial role in advancing cancer research and improving outcomes for those affected by cancer.
