Clinical Trials

Access tomorrow’s cancer treatments today — safely guided by our oncology specialists.

Quick Facts

Clinical trials test new cancer treatments for safety and effectiveness.

All studies are approved and monitored by Ethics Committees and relevant Singaporen health authorities.

Eligible patients may access new treatments not yet commercially available.

What are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are carefully regulated medical studies designed to evaluate new cancer treatments for safety and effectiveness.

Conducted under international Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards, these trials allow patients to access promising therapies before they are widely available — while contributing to future advancements in cancer care.

By participating, patients may receive investigational treatments under close medical supervision, helping doctors improve future treatment outcomes.

Phases Of Clinical Trials

Phase 1

Tests a new drug or treatment in a small group of participants to determine its safety, dosage range, and potential side effects.

Phase 2

Evaluates how well the new treatment works for specific cancers. Patients are closely monitored for treatment response and side effects.

Phase 3

Compares the new treatment with standard therapy to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, and collect data across larger patient groups.

Phase 4

Conducted after regulatory approval and market release, these studies continue to evaluate a drug’s safety and effectiveness in the general population.

Safety & Oversight

Your safety is our top priority.

All clinical trials at OncoCare Singapore are conducted under strict international guidelines and regulatory oversight. Each study follows established protocols to ensure patient safety, transparency, and scientific integrity.

Every trial is:

  • Reviewed by Ethics Committees (IRB/EC) to protect patient rights
  • Approved by regulatory authorities such as the Health Sciences Authority (HSA)
  • Closely monitored by experienced doctors, nurses, and trial coordinators

Clinical trials are designed to be safe, ethical, and carefully controlled at every stage.

Why Participate in a Clinical Trial?

  • Access new treatments early – including investigational therapies such as advanced immunotherapy and targeted treatments that may not yet be widely available.
  • Receive close medical monitoring – patients are followed more frequently and carefully than in routine care to ensure safety and manage side effects promptly.
  • Contribute to cancer research – your participation helps doctors and scientists improve future cancer treatments and patient outcomes.

Our Commitment to Clinical Research

Clinical trials play a vital role in advancing cancer care and improving patient outcomes. At OncoCare Singapore, our doctors are actively involved in clinical research to bring new and promising treatments to patients.

These studies follow an internationally accepted process to evaluate new therapies, including cancer immunotherapy, in a structured and systematic way. Findings from clinical trials help doctors better understand treatment effectiveness and side effects, ultimately benefiting future patients.

Through this approach, clinical trials not only provide access to new treatment options but also contribute to the continuous improvement of cancer care in Singapore and globally.

Clinical Trials in Singapore

Clinical trials in Singapore are strictly regulated to ensure patient safety and ethical conduct.

All studies must undergo rigorous review and approval by ethics committees and national health authorities before patients can participate. This ensures that every trial meets high standards of safety, quality, and transparency.

Singapore’s strong regulatory framework and commitment to research have made it a leading hub for advanced clinical trials in oncology.

Frequently Asked Questions​

What ethical considerations are involved in conducting clinical trials for cancer treatments?

Ethical considerations in conducting clinical trials for cancer treatments involve respect for patient autonomy, justice, beneficence, and non-maleficence. These principles are upheld through processes such as informed consent, ensuring participants fully understand the trial, its potential benefits, risks, and their right to withdraw at any time. Researchers also ensure that trials offer potential benefits to a diverse range of patients and that they minimise harm while maximising benefit.

Cancer immunotherapy clinical trials, like any treatment, can carry potential risks or side effects. These can range from minor symptoms like fatigue or nausea to more serious ones such as immune-related adverse events. The exact side effects will depend on the specific type of immunotherapy used, and these are explained in detail to participants before they consent to join the trial.

During clinical trials, side effects of cancer immunotherapy medications are meticulously recorded and monitored. Patients are regularly checked and asked about any symptoms they’re experiencing. Moreover, laboratory tests are often performed to detect any physical changes that could indicate side effects. This rigorous monitoring helps ensure patient safety and aids in understanding the treatment’s impact.

Once a patient completes a cancer immunotherapy clinical trial, there may be long-term effects or considerations to monitor, depending on the specific treatment tested. These could include ongoing monitoring for later effects of the treatment or assessing the long-term efficacy of the therapy. The research team will provide participants with detailed follow-up plans as needed.

Ensuring participant safety is paramount in clinical trials. Prior to the trial, the study protocol undergoes a thorough review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is composed of medical and non-medical members, tasked to ascertain that the trial does not present any unnecessary risks to the participants.

Participants are required to sign an “informed consent” form, which outlines the nature of the trial, potential risks, and the procedures involved. This document enables participants to understand fully what their participation entails. It is also important to note that this consent is given voluntarily, and participants are free to withdraw at any point during the trial without facing any penalty. 

In line with stringent national and international standards, clinical trials ensure participants’ privacy and rights. Personal and medical information about participants is kept strictly confidential, and identifiable information is often replaced with codes in trial records to protect privacy. 

Additionally, results from the trial are usually presented in a way that individual participants cannot be identified. This careful adherence to privacy protocols not only respects the participants’ rights but also promotes trust in the clinical trial process. 

Frequently Asked Questions about Clinical Trials in Singapore

What ethical considerations are involved in conducting clinical trials for cancer treatments?
Ethical considerations in conducting clinical trials for cancer treatments involve respect for patient autonomy, justice, beneficence, and non-maleficence. These principles are upheld through processes such as informed consent, ensuring participants fully understand the trial, its potential benefits, risks, and their right to withdraw at any time. Researchers also ensure that trials offer potential benefits to a diverse range of patients and that they minimise harm while maximising benefit.
Cancer immunotherapy clinical trials, like any treatment, can carry potential risks or side effects. These can range from minor symptoms like fatigue or nausea to more serious ones such as immune-related adverse events. The exact side effects will depend on the specific type of immunotherapy used, and these are explained in detail to participants before they consent to join the trial.
During clinical trials, side effects of cancer immunotherapy medications are meticulously recorded and monitored. Patients are regularly checked and asked about any symptoms they’re experiencing. Moreover, laboratory tests are often performed to detect any physical changes that could indicate side effects. This rigorous monitoring helps ensure patient safety and aids in understanding the treatment’s impact.
