Implementing a National Cancer Clinical Trials System for the 21st Century. Workshop Summary (2nd). Held in Washington, DC on February 11-12, 2013.

摘要

In early 2011, the NCPF and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) held a workshop in which stakeholders discussed the changes they planned to implement in response to the IOM goals and recommendations (IOM, 2011). Two years later, on February 11-12, 2013, in Washington, DC, the NCPF and ASCO reconvened stakeholders to report on the changes they have made thus far to address the IOM recommendations.1 At this workshop, representatives from the NCI, the NCTN, comprehensive cancer centers, patient advocacy groups, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), industry, and other stakeholders highlighted the progress that has been made in achieving the goals for a reinvigorated national cancer clinical trials system, and discussed additional strategies to further improve the system. This report is a summary of that workshop.
