CIRM Clinical Trials
Through its strategic funding of clinical trials, CIRM helps advance innovative stem cell and gene therapy discoveries toward future treatments for patients.

CIRM funds clinical trials across a broad range of diseases and conditions that include rare and genetic disorders, treatment-resistant and refractory diseases, and many forms of cancer. Our involvement in the clinical trial process is vital to transforming potential treatments into available therapies by accelerating pathways to commercialization.
