Oncology Clinical Research

Oncology continues to be one of the most active therapeutic areas in clinical trials. With significant funding from industry and federal agencies, the field is often the first to investigate new treatment modalities, technologies, and discoveries.

With this tradition of innovation comes the challenge of determining how new approaches fit into regulatory plans, clinical operations, and more.

Current Trends and Challenges in Oncology Clinical Research

How is the oncology clinical research community addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I)?

Technology for Conducting Oncology Clinical Trials

Recruitment and retention are particularly challenging when working with very specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Managing research data can also be difficult, as sites must meet additional reporting requirements from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). And because cancer patients often face grave diagnoses, extra care must be taken to ensure they truly understand what study participation requires.

To find sites with access to the right patient populations, sponsors, and contract research organizations (CROs) may choose to inform feasibility and site selection with site performance data.

Technology like a clinical trial management system (CTMS) can help research sites better manage study activities and report on oncology research data. Automating certain tasks can also help make more time available to focus on participants. However, when sponsors mandate study-specific technology to manage their cancer trials, sites may find the myriad systems a burden. 78% of NCI-designated clinical research sites use Advarra’s OnCore CTMS.

For sites outside of the U.S., sponsors should ensure they provide site-centric and integrated tools to support sites conducting complex research.
