Evidence for Clinical Utility of Molecular Diagnostics in Oncology: A Workshop

Completed

The Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health hosted a workshop with the Center for Medical Technology Policy to discuss research methodologies required to demonstrate and assess the clinical validity and clinical utility of molecular diagnostics for oncology. The presentations and discussions explored the challenges in and identified potential opportunities for advancing the development and use of molecular diagnostic tests that are used to guide the treatment and management of oncology patients.

Description

An ad hoc planning committee will plan and conduct a public workshop to discuss research methodologies related to demonstrating and assessing the clinical validity and clinical utility of molecular diagnostics that are used to guide treatment and management of oncology patients. The goal of the workshop will be to advance discussions among a broad array of stakeholders, including patients, providers, policy makers, payers, test developers, guideline developers, and others, around evidence needs for informed clinical and health policy decision-making. The planning committee will develop the workshop agenda, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. An individually-authored summary of the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional policy and procedures. This workshop will be held jointly with the Center for Medical Technology Policy.
