This project is among the 16 selected laureates at the national level, highlighting the significant contribution of the Pays de la Loire region to medical advancements.


A few details about the CLIP² label

The CLIP² label highlights establishments specialized in conducting early-phase clinical trials. These trials represent the first steps in evaluating the effectiveness of a new molecule on a small number of patients, before moving on to larger trial phases. This allows patients to quickly benefit from potential new treatments for cancer.

This distinction reinforces the establishment's role in cancer research while providing financial and logistical support to continue this essential work.

Strong visibility!

Receiving this label brings great visibility, allowing the department to shine even brighter in the field of research.

thanks to the projects led by the CHU of Nantes, the CHU of Angers, and the Institute of Oncology of the West, especially with the medical industry.
