Research & Clinical Trials

Since 1999, the Cancer Clinical Trials Office (CCTO) at Beaumont Hospitals has offered personalized service to those seeking care through clinical trials. The research that you participate in today leads to tomorrow's medical treatments and disease prevention strategies, which advances evidence-based health care. In coordination with Beaumont doctors, our knowledgeable staff is committed to meeting the highest standard of excellence in conducting clinical research and supporting quality patient care.

In 2001, Beaumont was designated as a Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The CCOP network was created by the NCI in 1983 to serve local communities with state-of-the art cancer prevention and treatment clinical trials. For eight years, Beaumont maintained this national designation and continues at the forefront of cancer research.

As one of only fifty CCOP designated research centers from across the U.S., we offer studies from nationally recognized cooperative groups and research bases, including:

• American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG)
• Children's Oncology Group (COG)
• Gynecological Oncology Group (GOG)
• National Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP)
• Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)
• Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG)
• Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU) 
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
• International Breast Cancer Study Group (IBCSG)
• North Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG)
• H. L. Moffit CCOP and Research Base
• Wake Forest CCOP and Research Base.

In addition to cooperative group trials, we offer pharmaceutical, commercial, and investigator-initiated studies. Patients are participating in over 165 clinical trials.

Currently, over sixty treatment, prevention and supportive trials are open for enrollment in the following specialties: 

Multiple awards and recognitions received by Beaumont doctors and staff demonstrates the research excellence found in Cancer Clinical Trials at Beaumont Hospitals.
