Solutions for Every Stage of Your Trial
Empower Your Oncology Research Capabilities
Ethical and Safety Reviews
Oncology clinical trials require a high level of specialized regulatory and medical expertise to ensure patient safety, ethical integrity, and compliance with local, federal, and international standards. Advarra’s review services cover every aspect of trial oversight, from initial protocol review to ongoing safety monitoring, ensuring your oncology research meets the highest ethical and regulatory standards.
- Comprehensive regulatory oversight: Institutional review boards (IRB), institutional biosafety committees (IBC), data monitoring committees (DMC), and endpoint adjudication committees (EAC) ensure every trial is reviewed thoroughly and ethically.
- Specialized oncology review: Oncology protocols require unique risk/benefit evaluations, especially in Phase I trials and studies involving advanced therapies like genetic engineering (CAR-T, mRNA). Our network of 400+ oncology experts review these studies with the specialized depth of knowledge needed for complex cancer research.
- sIRB management: We help institutions transition to a centralized IRB process for multisite studies, alleviating the challenges of sIRB requirements, particularly for those accustomed to local IRB review.
- Ethical oversight: Our team manages the distinct ethical concerns in oncology research, ensuring compliance with additional regulatory requirements for NCI-Designated Cancer Centers while overseeing specialized medical reviews for complex modalities.
Technology
Oncology trials pose distinct challenges, particularly in managing recruitment, retention, and complex data reporting requirements. Technology plays a critical role in overcoming these challenges by streamlining trial management, automating processes, and ensuring compliance. Our technology solutions, including the industry-leading OnCore CTMS, help research sites meet these demands efficiently, enabling more focus on participants and study outcomes.
