The Sylvester Design and Management of Cancer Clinical Trials Course provides key information to advance translational clinical research, foster better clinical trial design, and ultimately improve patient care. Clinical research education works best when people learn together—not in silos. This course brings the full research team together, including PIs, advanced practice providers, nurses, clinical research coordinators, regulatory and lab staff, other clinical research professionals, PhD scientists, and trainees at all levels. Participants gain a strong foundation in cancer clinical research, and by learning in a shared virtual environment, attendees build common understanding, strengthen teamwork, and become better equipped to collaborate for clinical trial success.
Holders of this badge learned: how to craft a letter of intent that presents the proposed research in a focused, concise manner; what emerging advances in biomarker development, bioinformatics, and liquid biopsies mean for the future of clinical trials; and why clinical trials become more informative when molecular measurement, computation, and treatment are treated as one integrated system.
