ReDO_Trials Database

The ReDO_Trials_DB is a curated database of active clinical trials investigating the use of non-cancer drugs as potential cancer treatments. All trials in this database include one or more licensed non-cancer drugs in an intervention arm as an anticancer agent rather than for symptom control or supportive care. Primary cancer prevention trials are not included. Active trials are those which are recruiting, not yet recruiting, have temporarily paused recruitment or are following up on recruited patients. Trials which have completed, been terminated, withdrawn or with unknown status are not included.

Important note for patients! This list identifies drugs that, based on their scientific properties, warrant further scientific investigation. In most cases the existing scientific evidence for their effects on cancer is very limited. Further scientific and clinical research is needed before any statements regarding their anti-cancer activity can be made. This list is not intended to be used as a source for possible treatment options for patients.

If you need help exploring further treatment options for your situation, please take a look at our My Cancer Navigator service.
