Johns Hopkins National Cancer Clinical Trials Program
NCTN LAPS at Johns Hopkins
This program helps run national cancer clinical trials at Johns Hopkins so people with cancer in the area can join research studies.

What this research studies
At Johns Hopkins this program provides leadership and coordination to open and run National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) cancer trials at the main center and nearby satellite clinics. Staff work to activate new trials quickly, keep regulatory and data reporting on schedule, and ensure quality oversight. Senior investigators will mentor early-career doctors to expand trial options and maintain strong enrollment. The goal is to offer more trial choices and keep operations smooth so patients can access studies when appropriate.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People with cancer who are treated at Johns Hopkins or its affiliated satellite clinics and who meet specific trial eligibility rules are the best candidates.
Not a fit: People without cancer, those whose condition does not match any available trial, or those unable to travel to participating Johns Hopkins sites are unlikely to benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may have faster and wider access to nationally sponsored cancer trials and new treatment options at Johns Hopkins.
How similar studies have performed: Other major cancer centers' participation in the NCTN has a strong track record of increasing patient access to trials and contributing to important treatment advances.
