Office of Clinical Research
The OCR provides support for clinical trials initiated by Dartmouth investigators, as well as industrially sponsored studies and cooperative group studies. The OCR participates in the following cooperative groups:
- Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (ALLIANCE), which includes:
- American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG)
- Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB)
- North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG)
- Children's Oncology Group (COG)
- Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG)
- Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)
Data management activities are focused around existing disease-specific clinical teams. Support is available for data collection, nursing, and pharmacy needs related to clinical research.
In addition to data management support, the OCR also coordinates the review of cancer-related clinical trials by committees that consider issues of scientific merit, ethics, safety, and patient accrual
