New discoveries made in the laboratory require translation into clinical use," said Dr. Michael Armstrong of Duke University Medical Center. "Support from the St. Baldrick's Foundation has allowed us to develop an early phase clinical trial program here at Duke to facilitate entry of promising therapies into treatment for children with neuroblastoma."
