Explore the Sky Foundation & TriCan Health Clinical Trial Series, where we break down important topics and help patients and families better understand their options. Clinical trials are worth exploring at any stage of a diagnosis, not just after other treatments have been exhausted. Learning about opportunities early can help you make more informed decisions about your care.
Support from Sky Foundation
We partner with leading institutions, including Henry Ford Health, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Rogel & Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer at the Rogel Cancer Center at the University of Michigan Health, and Trinity Health to connect patients directly with appropriate trials. We also maintain relationships with national research networks, helping patients identify opportunities quickly.
Key takeaway
Clinical trials may offer access to new treatments that could improve outcomes. Ask your oncologist about trial eligibility as early as possible.
