Clinical trials for childhood cancer closed to new Canadian patients in wake of U.S. funding cuts
September 11, 2025
At least five cutting-edge clinical trials for childhood cancer have been closed to new Canadian patients because of the Trump administration’s cuts to scientific funding and its directive that grants no longer be shared with foreign researchers.
Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children halted enrolment in three trials for incurable brain cancer last month after the U.S. National Cancer Institute decided not to renew funding for a consortium of pediatric brain-tumour scientists whose only Canadian site was at SickKids.
