Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Networks

Providing Access to Promising Therapies to People With Cancer

The Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network (CITN) and affiliated Immune Oncology Network (ION) strive to make promising experimental immunotherapies broadly available to people with cancer. CITN and ION benefit from the collective expertise of top academic immunologists to conduct multicenter research on immunotherapy agents capable of unleashing patient immunity to fight cancer.
