Cancer Clinical Trials & Research at Saint Joseph Hospital

At CHI Saint Joseph Health – Cancer Care at Saint Joseph Hospital we’re committed to bringing new hope to our Lexington communities through leading-edge cancer research and clinical trials.

As a patient, you have direct access to multiple clinical trials that could offer alternatives to standard treatments and more choices for care, while advancing future medical research.

Participation in any study is voluntary, and your oncologist will talk with you about the potential benefits and risks and what to expect. All trials are held at our full-service cancer center, so you don’t have to travel far to access these promising options.

See our current list of studies below, or search all open cancer clinical trials at our locations throughout Central Kentucky.
