Clinical Trials Actively Recruiting

Having a large clinical trial portfolio means giving patients treatment options often not available anywhere else, and years before they become the standard of care. To learn more about Karmanos Cancer Institute clinical trials or to see if a trial is right for you, please call 1-800-KARMANOS (1-800-527-6266) or request an appointment below.

  • Objective:
    Primary Objective
    • To evaluate if the addition of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to two schedules of radiation therapies (60 Gy in 30 fractions or 60 Gy in 15 fractions) is safe.
    Secondary Objectives
    • To examine if the addition of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to radiation therapy is feasible.
    • To assess toxicities associated with the addition of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to radiation therapy.
    • To obtain preliminary estimates of progression-free survival (PFS), using RECIST guidelines, in patients who received MEDI4736 (durvalumab) added to radiation. Although the clinical benefit of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in combination with radiotherapy has not yet been established, the intent of offering this treatment is to provide a possible therapeutic benefit, and thus the patient will be carefully monitored for tumor response.
