Here’s
a group I just discovered – the Brain
Tumor Trials Collaborative: http://www.bttconline.org/
.
According
to their website “The mission of the BTTC is to develop and perform
hypothesis-based, state-of-the-art clinical trials in a collaborative and
collegial environment emphasizing innovation and meticulous attention to
protocol compliance and data quality. Through these efforts, the BTTC will
strive to advance treatments for patients with neuro-oncologic illness with
recognition of the importance of merging good scientific method with concern
for patient well-being and outcome.”
I
wanted to write about them because of their emphasis on clinical trials. If I understand
their website correctly, they current are fielding three open trials. You can
read about them here: http://www.bttconline.org/research-clinical-trials/bttc-clinical-trials
