Patient Involvement in the
|
At EORTC, being a patient-centred non-profit organisation that conducts clinical research in cancer, we are currently considering to involve patient representatives in the activities of our Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC).
The IDMC is an independent body composed of clinical doctors and a statistician whose aim is to evaluate the accumulating data during the course of clinical trials. Their reviews are to verify that the risk/benefit ratio of the study is maintained and to make recommendations on modifications or even early termination of the study.
We believe that patients’ perspective is invaluable. Therefore, we are inviting you to participate in the survey that aims in helping EORTC select the most suitable candidates for this role and develop a tailored training.
Thank you very much.
