OUR MISSION: To bring new, or novel medications to the patients of Utah.

For over 25 years now, Utah Cancer Specialists, has been deeply committed to advancing the science of oncology. Clinical trials are a critical component in expanding treatment options for people with all types of cancer. Because all new treatments and therapies must be evaluated through clinical trials, the greater the number of participants, the faster emerging therapies can be brought to patients. Participants expand their own treatment options by accessing promising new therapies that are currently only available through clinical trials – and contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge that may help other patients in the future.

Utah Cancer Specialists offers participation all phases of clinical trials.

Phase I – A phase of research to describe clinical trials that focus on the safety of a drug.

Phase II – A phase of research to describe clinical trials that gather preliminary data on whether a drug works in people who have a certain condition/disease.

Phase III – A phase of research to describe clinical trials that gather more information about a drug’s safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase IV – A phase of research to describe clinical trials occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are clinical trials.

Clinical trials are research studies conducted with people who volunteer to participate in the testing of new therapies. The purpose of these studies is to find better therapies for cancer treatment.

How are cancer clinical trials conducted?

Clinical research trials are one of the final stages of a long and careful cancer research process. Studies are done with cancer patients to find out whether promising approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment are safe and effective.

What are the benefits of participating in a clinical trial?

  • You may have access to promising new therapies that doctors hope will be more effective or less toxic than the standard treatment. These therapies are not yet available to patients outside the study.
  • You can play an active role in your cancer care by expanding your treatment options.
  • You will receive expert medical care during the trial and throughout your treatment.
  • Your overall health is closely monitored throughout the trial.
  • You will be contributing to greater knowledge that may help other cancer patients in the future.

What are some of the possible risks of participating in a clinical trial?

  • Participants in randomized studies will not be able to choose the approach they receive.
  • Health insurance and managed care providers may not cover all patient care costs in a study, in which case the patient would be responsible for those costs.
  • Therapies under study are not always better than the standard care.
  • New treatments may have unknown side effects or risks.

How are my rights protected during a clinical trial?

Clinical research trials are conducted according to strict scientific and ethical principles and groups of experts at the national and local levels approve research studies before they begin. One important group who evaluates clinical trials is the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the research organization implementing the trial. An IRB is made up of doctors, researchers, community leaders and other members of the community. This board is focused on protecting the safety of participants by reviewing the protocol to make sure the study is conducted fairly and participants are well-informed of their rights during the study.

When considering if I want to participate in a study, what type of information will be available?

A physician, nurse or someone from the research team will give you the important facts about the study, including the purpose of the study and what is involved such as the tests and other procedures used, possible risks and benefits. You will also receive a written consent form explaining the study, which you will be asked to sign should you decide to participate. However, even if you sign the consent form, you may stop participating in the study at any time.

Do I have to participate in a clinical trial?

No. Your participation in a clinical trial is completely voluntary at all times. It is important to ask a lot of questions and consider all of your treatment options before you decide if taking part in a study is right for you.

Velocity Clinical Research

Salt Lake City (West Jordan), Utah

Velocity clinical research, salt lake city.

Velocity's Salt Lake City research site was founded in 1984 by Werner Huck as Advanced Clinical Research, the first community based clinical research center in Idaho and Utah, and acquired by Velocity in 2019. Mr. Huck was an early advocate of community-based outpatient studies. An initial model of embedding research staff in local practices evolved to stand alone research facilities. Mr. Huck and his research team participated in a large number of antibiotic trials from the 1980s until the early 2000s, addressing many unmet needs in infectious disease indications. This experience led to development of significant expertise in conduction of vaccine studies which remains a key therapeutic focus. Over the years, the Salt Lake City site has expanded its clinical research expertise into Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Women’s Health, and a variety of Family Medicine indications. By working collaboratively and developing strong relationships with area physicians and patients, this site has a broad network of study participants ranging from pediatric to geriatric demographics. In addition, this site also has access to Samoan and Latinx populations.

Located just south of Salt Lake City, this site serves the greater Jordan Valley area. It is within walking distance from Jordan Valley Medical Center and has ample parking for study volunteers.

Clinicial trial faq.

Why should I participate in a clinical trial?

Clinical trials are critical to progressing medical advancements and helping people live longer. Many of the treatments used today would not be available if they were not first tested in clinical trials.

At Stanford, our physician-researchers and scientists perform collaborative research to improve diagnosis and treatment options for people worldwide. Because of their level of expertise, some of the trials and innovative treatments we offer are not available elsewhere in the world.

How do I know if a clinical trial is right for me?

To determine if a clinical trial is right for you, talk to your doctor. He or she can refer you to a study coordinator for more information on research studies that may be suitable for your specific condition.

You can also find the guidelines for who can participate in a particular clinical trial online. However, it is best to work with your doctor to decide the right care approach for your needs.

Why are clinical trials done in phases?

Clinical trials are executed in phases to determine their safety and effectiveness. Specific scientific questions are answered in each phase to demonstrate the potential of a new drug, device, or medical approach.

Is there a cost associated with participating in a clinical trial?

As a study participant, you receive a new drug, device, medical approach, or other treatment for free. 

Why are some clinical trials closed and others open?

Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future for enrollment.

What Are Clinical Trials & Other Questions

What are clinical trials.

  • Clinical Trials at U of U Health
  • Participate in Clinical Trials
  • What Are Clinical Trials & Other FAQs
  • Clinical Trials at Huntsman Cancer Institute

Clinical trials or research studies are organized tests of medicines and new treatment options. These studies rely on patient volunteers who try the new or changed treatment. Sometimes they are new experimental medicines that have not been approved by the FDA for sale in the United States. Sometimes they are drugs that are currently available for sale but are being tested for a new disease or new doses of the same medicine.

Not all doctors choose to do clinical trials. You may enter a trial with your own doctor or with another local doctor who is running a trial you are interested in. If you go to a doctor other than your own, you are always free to go back to your own doctor for your routine medical care.

Questions relevant to the trial should always be addressed to the trial doctor for the duration of your trial participation. Any clinical trial participation is always voluntary. In most clinical trials the treatment, office visits, and all tests are free. You may also be given financial compensation for participating in some cases. Your doctor or the study coordinator at your doctor's office should share information regarding the compensation package with you during your first visit.

Where Do the Ideas for Trials Come From?

Ideas for clinical trials usually come from researchers. After researchers test new therapies or procedures in the laboratory and in animal studies, the experimental treatments with the most promising laboratory results are moved into clinical trials. During a trial, more and more information is gained about an experimental treatment, its risks and how well it may or may not work.

Who Sponsors Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are sponsored or funded by a variety of organizations or individuals such as physicians, medical institutions, foundations, voluntary groups, and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA). Trials can take place in a variety of locations, such as hospitals, universities, doctors' offices, or community clinics.

What Is Clinical Research

Types, phases, & protocols of clinical trials, clinical trial types.

Treatment trials test experimental treatments, new combinations of drugs, or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.

Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent disease in people who have never had the disease or to prevent a disease from returning. These approaches may include medicines, vitamins, vaccines, minerals, or lifestyle changes.

Diagnostic trials are conducted to find better tests or procedures for diagnosing a particular disease or condition.

Screening trials test the best way to detect certain diseases or health conditions. Quality of Life trials (or Supportive Care trials) explore ways to improve comfort and the quality of life for individuals with a chronic illness.

How do drugs and procedures qualify for clinical trials?

Patients who participate in a clinical trial receive drugs or procedures that already have been research in successful laboratory and/or animal studies. Most clinical trials study new drugs or procedures, but some study drugs or procedures that have already received approval by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Phases in Clinical Trials

Most clinical trials are carried out in steps called phases. Each phase is designed to find different information. Patients may be eligible for studies in different phases depending on their general condition, the type and stage of their condition, and what therapy, if any, they have already had.

Patients are seen regularly to determine the effect of the treatment, and treatment is always stopped if side effects become too severe. (Please continue for a description of each of the four phases involved in a clinical trial.)

Phase I Trials

Phase I studies are primarily concerned with assessing the drug's safety. This initial phase of testing in humans is done in a small number of healthy volunteers (20 to 100), who are usually paid for participating in the study. The study is designed to determine what happens to the drug in the human body—how it is absorbed, metabolized, and excreted.

A phase I study will investigate side effects that occur as dosage levels are increased. This initial phase of testing typically takes several months. About 70 percent of experimental drugs pass this initial phase of testing.

Phase II Trials

Once a drug has been shown to be safe, it must be tested for effectiveness. This second phase of testing may last from several months to two years and involve up to several hundred patients.

Most phase II studies are randomized trials. One group of patients will receive the experimental drug while a second control group will receive a standard treatment or placebo. Often these studies are blinded—neither the patients nor the researchers know who is getting the experimental drug.

In this manner, the study can provide the pharmaceutical company and the FDA comparative information about the relative safety of the new drug and its effectiveness. Only about one-third of experimental drugs successfully complete both phase I and phase II studies. Safety continues to be evaluated.

Phase III Trials

In a phase III study, a drug is tested in several hundred to several thousand patients. This large-scale testing provides the pharmaceutical company and the FDA with a more thorough understanding of the drug's safety, effectiveness, benefits, and the range of possible adverse reactions. Most phase III studies are randomized and blinded trials.

Phase III studies typically last several years. Seventy to 90 percent of drugs that enter phase III studies successfully complete this phase of testing. Once a phase III study is successfully completed, a pharmaceutical company can request FDA approval for marketing the drug.

Phase IV Trials

In late phase III/phase IV studies, pharmaceutical companies have several objectives:

  • studies often compare a drug with other drugs already in the market;
  • studies are often designed to monitor a drug's long-term safety, effectiveness and impact on a patient's quality of life; and
  • many studies are designed to determine the cost-effectiveness of a drug therapy relative to other traditional and new therapies.

A protocol is a study plan on which all clinical trials are based. The plan is carefully designed to safeguard the health of the participants as well as answer specific research questions. A protocol describes:

  • what types of people may participate in the trial;
  • the schedule of tests, procedures, medications, and dosages; and
  • the length of the study.

While in a clinical trial, participants following a protocol are seen regularly by the research staff to monitor their health and to determine the safety and effectiveness of their treatment.

Clinical Trials Terminology

Institutional Review Board (IRB) : A board consisting of health care professionals from the institution where the clinical trial takes place, as well as members of the local community. The board scrutinizes all trial activities including recruitment, advertising, and potential risks. The IRB also makes sure that FDA regulations are being followed in a particular trial.

Clinical Investigator : A medical researcher in charge of carrying out a clinical trial's protocol. Researchers are usually doctors, nurses, pharmacists, or other health care professionals.

Food and Drug Administration : A government agency that enforces laws on the manufacture testing and use of drugs and medical devices. All drugs and medical devices must be approved by the FDA before they can be used by the general public.

Placebo :  An inactive pill, liquid, or powder that has no treatment value. In clinical trials, experimental treatments are often compared with placebos to assess the experimental treatment's effectiveness. In some studies, the participants in the control group will receive a placebo instead of an active drug or experimental treatment.

Control or Control Group : The standard by which experimental observations are evaluated. In many clinical trials, one group of patients will be given an experimental drug or treatment, while the control group is given either a standard treatment for the illness or a placebo.
