Since its inception in 1991, Gateway has provided over $90 million in funding for more than 190 Phase I and Phase II clinical trials benefiting over 9,000 cancer patients at leading institutions worldwide. Early phase trials have been shown to have the greatest impact in curing cancer yet are significantly under funded making Gateway for Cancer Research that much more impactful in the fight against cancer.
