And answers lead to hope. Introducing the Largest Phase 0 Clinical Trials Program in the World The Ivy Brain Tumor Center is a nonprofit translational research program that offers state-of-the-art clinical trials for patients with aggressive brain tumors. Ivy Phase 0 clinical trials allow patients to receive individualized treatment in a fraction of the time and costs associated with traditional drug research and development.

This approach addresses the two most common reasons most drugs fail in brain tumor patients: Most new drugs are incapable of reaching the brain. Laboratory animal studies of new drugs paint an incomplete picture of how the drugs will perform in humans.

$179M Invested in Research for Brain Cancer Nick : Ivy Center Patient Survivor The day after his graduation from San Diego State University, Nick was diagnosed with a recurrence of his malignant meningioma. Nick knew he wasn’t going to have a lot of options, but the Ivy Center had just opened a Phase 0 clinical trial for this exact indication. The Ivy Center and Ivy Foundation Sanjiv Sam Gambhir M.

D. , Ph. D Part of a larger community Collaborating for the good of all Giving back to the community A Message from Catherine Ivy The Ivy Foundation has the long-term, ultimate goal to cure brain cancer.

To that end, we fund cutting-edge research that will improve diagnostics and treatment options for patients with brain cancer. Since 2005, we’ve committed more than $179 million to brain tumor research, with the expectation that this will lead to an eventual cure. We are dedicated to this effort because funding leads to answers, and answers lead to hope.
