The Children’s Oncology Group (COG) is a research organization within the National Cancer Institute's National Clinical Trials Network, dedicated to childhood and adolescent cancer research and based in Arcadia, California. It coordinates a network of experts at more than 220 hospitals and cancer centers across the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia, positioning itself as the world's largest organization devoted to this field. COG oversees more than 100 active clinical trials and enrolls about 12,000 patients each year, addressing front-line treatment, biology, emerging therapies, supportive care, and survivorship. Its mission is to cure and prevent childhood and adolescent cancer through scientific discovery and compassionate care, reflecting significant improvements in survival over the past decades. A notable recent development includes a January 2024 collaboration with City of Hope's Children’s Cancer Center to conduct a large trial aimed at reducing heart failure risk in long-term survivors.
