The Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP)

The Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) is a part of the National Cancer Institute that conducts and supports clinical trials for new cancer treatments. Its goal is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, biologics, and treatment approaches, helping to determine which therapies can benefit patients. By coordinating research efforts across many institutions, CTEP accelerates the development of promising treatments, ultimately aiming to improve outcomes and quality of life for people with cancer.
