The Rossy Cancer Network (RCN) - a partnership between the McGill University Health Centre, Jewish General Hospital, St. Mary’s Hospital, and McGill University - identified that existing clinical trial databases often provided inaccurate or hard-to-access information about active trials across the network. To remedy this, the RCN launched a Clinical Trials Program whose first objective was to build this dedicated website powered by a unified clinical trial management platform. This platform offers real-time updates from clinical research associates and managers, resulting in an accurate, searchable database of all active trials across the network.
Clinical Trials Across the Rossy Cancer Network
The RCN brings together over 150 dedicated oncology clinical research professionals including oncologists, research nurses, study coordinators, and trial managers - united by a commitment to advancing cancer care. Our mission is to provide patients with access to today’s most innovative treatments while driving research that will shape the therapies of the future. Each year, we enroll more than 700 patients in clinical trials, offering access to breakthrough therapies and generating critical data for both pharmaceutical and investigator-led studies.
