Clinical Trials

The following list of clinical trials at The Ottawa Hospital is pulled from ClinicalTrials.gov, which is hosted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and only available in English. If you find a clinical trial that interests you, you can bring the information to the next appointment with your care team and ask if you are eligible for the study. If so, they may be able to refer you to the study team. If you email the study team directly, we can guarantee a response. Learn more about participating in research and clinical trials.
