The Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) is a National Cancer Institute program that supports and oversees oncology clinical trials and investigational agent development.
CTEP provides scientific review, regulatory coordination, and operational requirements for NCI-sponsored cancer studies. It supports investigational agent distribution, protocol management, safety reporting expectations, and data submission standards. CTEP oversight strengthens trial consistency across participating institutions. Its involvement supports participant protection, data quality, and alignment with federal research requirements.
