Workshop Statement of Task and Agenda

Implementing a National Cancer Clinical Trials System for the 21st Century, Second Workshop

Hosted by the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the Institute of Medicine’s National Cancer Policy Forum

STATEMENT OF TASK

An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop to identify and examine ongoing activities to implement the recommendations put forth in the Institute of Medicine (IOM) consensus report A National Cancer Clinical Trials System for the 21st Century: Reinvigorating the NCI Cooperative Group Program. The first workshop (to be held in early 2011) would invite all stakeholders charged with making changes to the system (e.g., National Cancer Institute [NCI], Food and Drug Administration [FDA], Office for Human Research Protections [OHRP], Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], NCI Cooperative Group Chairs, drug/biotech/device industry, patient advocates, investigators at academic and community sites, and private payers) to discuss what changes they plan to implement in response to the IOM recommendations. The second workshop (to be held in 2013) would reconvene the stakeholders to discuss progress made to date and to identify additional actions to take. Individually authored summaries of the workshops will subsequently be prepared by a designated rapporteur.
