Time to Talk: Clinical Trials
Cancer affects everyone – but everyone hasn't had the same access to the latest treatments. We have the power to change that.
We've launched Time to Talk: Clinical Trials – an awareness campaign dedicated to transforming cancer care for historically underserved patients and their families. With industry support led by Regeneron, we've created a platform where patients, caregivers, and beyond can learn directly from oncology pharmacy experts about the evolution of cancer clinical trials and how you can participate.
Together, we can improve cancer treatments for historically underserved communities.
