Clinical Cancer Research

Our clinical research program drives the development of new therapies, expands access to innovative treatment options and accelerates the translation of scientific discovery into patient cancer care. Through collaboration across institutions and disciplines, we are advancing studies that improve outcomes, inform best practices and shape the future of cancer treatment. 

200+ cancer clinical trials 

Our researchers place a strong emphasis on clinical research, investigating how research questions affect patient care directly. With more than 20 treatment locations, anchored by our flagship cancer pavilion in Detroit, we provide a centralized cancer clinical trials support system to researchers and clinicians.

Our highly trained professionals monitor clinical trial processes to meet federal regulatory requirements. OnCore is used as the central, web-based Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) to manage the entire lifecycle of clinical research studies. It acts as a centralized platform for researchers and coordinators to improve compliance, optimize workflows and manage data for clinical trials. Specialized teams provide support in key areas:

• Case management
• Data management
• Internal review board coordination
• Pharmacokinetics and central lab submissions
• Computer programming and database design

We also offer consultation for researchers who are preparing a proposal for the National Institutes of Health, including:

• Clinical trial design and generation of protocols
• Investigational New Drug (IND) applications
• FDA approval process
• Conduct of clinical trials
