Clinical trials

An integral part of the research process

Without clinical trials, new treatments and medicines cannot be approved for use in Australia.

With more than 300 open trials across 19 disease disciplines, our clinical trial portfolio is one of the largest in the country. This gives patients all over Victoria access to potentially life-saving treatments.
