The START Center for Cancer Research, a global network that gives patients access to early-phase clinical trials for new cancer treatments, is collaborating with Allegheny Health Network.

A new early-phase clinical trial site will be established within the AHN Cancer Center at AHN’s Allegheny General Hospital, expanding access to novel investigational cancer therapies for patients across Western Pennsylvania.

The collaboration will bring together START’s expertise in conducting early-phase, community-based oncology trials with AHN’s network of nationally recognized cancer specialists.
