Clinical Trials / Studies

The Aspirus Oncology Research Institute (AORI) primarily participates in National Cancer Institute (NCI) clinical trials, giving patients access to research supported by the world's largest public funder of cancer research. AORI also partners in industry-sponsored studies that evaluate new targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and combination treatment options.

The AORI Protocol List below includes currently open clinical trials by disease site, along with the locations where each study is available for patient enrollment. Links within the protocol list provide additional study details on ClinicalTrials.gov.

  A helpful resource for patients and their families. The show is hosted by a non-medical interviewer who speaks with physicians and other medical professionals. Each episode offers an accessible, human-centered look at cancer care. As the “white coats” come off, listeners hear directly from the dedicated clinicians who take on cancer every day, unpacking the complexities of their work and share stories about how it’s done, and why they continue to do it. 
  
  Topics span the full cancer journey, including: 
  • Before treatment 
  • During treatment 
  • After treatment 
  • General cancer education 
  • Hematology 
  • Survivorship 

  The tone is conversational and patient-friendly, which may make it especially approachable for individuals who want to better understand what to expect and feel more connected to the people behind their care.
