Where Innovation Meets Patient Care.
At Southern Oncology Clinical Research, we specialise in early-phase oncology clinical trials, with a strong focus on Phase 1 studies. These trials offer patients access to innovative therapies when standard treatments are no longer effective. As one of Australia’s dedicated Phase 1 units, we are committed to advancing cancer care through pioneering research and collaboration with referring clinicians.
Collaborating With Clinicians
We work closely with oncologists, general practitioners, and other healthcare professionals to provide patients with timely access to investigational treatments. Our team values the relationship between clinicians and their patients, maintaining open and ongoing communication throughout the trial process.
We aim to complement—not replace—your care, ensuring continuity and transparency every step of the way.
Patient Safety & Clinical Excellence
Patient safety is our top priority. All clinical trials at our unit are conducted in accordance with:
- Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
- Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) guidelines.
- Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approvals.
Our facility is purpose-built for early-phase research, including first-in-human dosing, intensive monitoring, and real-time safety oversight, ensuring the highest standards of care.
