University Center for Clinical Research Antwerp

The University Center for Clinical Research Antwerp (UNICCRA) is a dedicated interdisciplinary center for conducting clinical trials, embedded in the University Hospital Antwerp (UZA). It is our priority to put the safety and welfare of our patients first. At UNICCRA, we’re running one of the largest clinical trials program for cancer in Belgium. We focus on early phase clinical trials in order to give access to innovative and promising new drugs to patients sometimes years before these drugs are available on the market.

“We’ve come a long way in a short time in cancer medicine. Huge advances in how we test genes and mutations in tumours mean that we now better understand what drives them, what makes them grow and also what makes them resistant. Knowing about these genetic drivers lets us develop precision treatments that specifically target them – this is incredibly exciting. This breakthrough means that patients who had previously very limited or no treatment options now have hope.“
