Research at ARC

Advancing hope through innovative care, clinical trials, and translational research.

Our Mission

To transform outcomes for people with brain and neurological disorders by advancing innovative clinical trials, expanding compassionate access to promising therapies, and driving translational research that personalizes care for every patient.

What We Do

We bring cutting-edge treatments, including precision medicine, immunotherapy, stem cells, and gene-based approaches, directly to patients through thoughtfully designed clinical trials.

Clinical Trials Program (In Process)

  • Precision Immunotherapy in the Neoadjuvant Setting (PIN) in Gliomas
  • Chordoma Program
  • Focused Ultrasound (FUS)
  • Neuroimmunomodulation Program for Neurological Disorders
  • Personalized Biomarker Informed Treatment Matching Studies
  • Liquid Biopsy Monitoring Program

FAST TRACK™Compassionate Access Program

(Facilitated Access to Specialized Treatments Through Rapid Approval, Coordination, and Knowledge)When no satisfactory therapies remain and a patient is not eligible for a clinical trial, our FAST TRACK™ program works to secure Expanded Access(“Compassionate Use”) to investigational drugs or devices not yet approved by FDA.

Transformative Research & Biobanking

We learn from every patient. By integrating clinical data with advanced analytics and biological specimens (blood, tissue, cerebrospinal fluid), our researchers identify biomarkers, refine diagnoses, and personalize treatment strategies—accelerating the path from discovery to care.

What to Expect When Exploring a Clinical Trial

  • Initial Trial Fit Review – We review your diagnosis, prior treatments, and goals.
  • Records & Imaging Assessment – We evaluate relevant pathology, imaging, and clinical history.
  • Eligibility & Options – We identify studies that may be a match and explain requirements, timelines, and potential commitments.
  • Informed Discussion – You receive a clear overview of potential benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can make a confident decision.
  • Screening & Enrollment Coordination – Our team helps schedule next steps and coordinates required documentation.
  • Ongoing Monitoring – If enrolled, we support communication, monitoring, and continuity alongside your broader care plan.

What This Means for Asthra Patients

  • A comprehensive, physician-led synthesis of records, imaging, pathology/molecular data (when available), and prior treatments
