Oncology Scientific Review

The Oncology Scientific Review Committee (OSRC) meets the first Wednesday of each month and is only required for Principal Investigator (PI) Initiated Studies. The Principal Investigator is required to attend this meeting and present a brief summary of the protocol.

• Deadline for submission is 10 days prior to the meeting.

Items needed for submission:

Be sure your submission includes:

• Name of principal investigator (PI),
• Expected duration of study
• Expected accrual to the study at each of the sites associated with TCI
• Objective evidence for expected accrual
• Indication if eligibility criteria overlap with other open protocols.

To be considered for review by OSRC, each protocol must include:

• Scientific rationale with appropriate supporting references to the medical literature
• One or more clearly stated scientific aims
• Clearly stated protocol eligibility criteria
• Clearly stated treatment plan
• Clearly stated study endpoint(s)
• Data forms to be used, copies.
• Valid statistical design and analysis where appropriate (A Hatton Research Institute biostatistician is available for consultation with PIs for protocols which require statistical design or revision.)

Submissions that do not meet the criteria above will be returned to the PI. Such protocol can be re-submitted, once consistent with above criteria.
