Clinical Trials

UnityPoint Health - Blank Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders
Research plays a large role in cancer care. UnityPoint Health – Blank Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders is able to provide Iowans with the opportunity to participate in national and international research studies through the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). COG, a National Cancer Institute supported clinical trials group, is the world’s largest organization devoted exclusively to childhood and adolescent cancer research. These trials include front-line treatment for many types of childhood cancers, studies aimed at determining the underlying biology of these diseases, and trials involving new and emerging treatments, supportive care, and survivorship.
