WHAT ARE CANCER
CLINICAL TRIALS?
Clinical trials are not an alternative to real treatment -- they are where the next version of real treatment is being built, in real time, in patients like you.
What Clinical Trials Actually Test
The range of what clinical trials test is wider than patients usually picture.
Investigational Drugs Not Yet Approved
Agents in development that have not received regulatory clearance for any indication. Phase I or early Phase II. Evidence is earlier-stage but accumulating. In precision oncology, Phase I trials sometimes show striking activity that prompts early approval pathways.
New Combinations of Approved Drugs
Two or more established treatments tested together. Each has individual safety and efficacy data. The combination data may not exist yet. Some of the most impactful advances have come from novel combinations.
Biomarker-Selected Programs
Enrollment based on a specific molecular feature rather than a specific cancer type. Basket trials. Any tumour carrying the target alteration may qualify regardless of cancer origin.
New Applications of Approved Drugs
An approved drug tested in a different cancer type, stage, or combination. Sometimes produces tumour-agnostic approvals extending treatment access to cancer types where the drug was never previously studied.
Frequently Asked Questions
How CancerFax Helps
CancerFax is a specialist cancer access and patient-navigation platform. We help patients and families understand their options, organise medical records, coordinate hospital communication, and support cross-border treatment planning where appropriate.
We help collect and organise reports, scans, pathology, biomarker results, and treatment history for structured case review.
We communicate with hospitals or trial teams to assess whether a case may be suitable for further screening.
We support appointment coordination, document submission, translation, and direct communication with international departments.
For international patients, we help with practical coordination — travel planning, hospital admission guidance, and local support.
If this option is not suitable, we help explore other relevant treatments, clinical trials, or advanced care pathways.
From inquiry through to follow-up, our coordinators provide a single point of contact for the family.
CancerFax does not guarantee treatment access, eligibility, or clinical outcome. Our role is to help patients access accurate information, structured review, and appropriate specialist pathways.
