3rd Workshop Outline

The 3rd Clinical Research Skill Advancement Workshop
“Let’s impact the world by conducting high-quality clinical research.”
- How to successfully develop your career as a clinical investigator –

For execution of physician/investigator-initiated clinical trials using unapproved agents
―Drawing up clinical trial protocols in line with new drug development pipelines ―

 The Oncology Education Project Association, together with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Japanese cancer specialists, is happy to host “The Clinical Research Skill Advancement Workshop,” the 3rd workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to train physicians/investigators to equip themselves with the hypothesis building skills necessary for designing clinical trials and to be able to conduct translational research efficiently. In other words, the goal of this workshop is to cultivate the next generation of clinical investigators.
 At this 3rd workshop, we aim at “early clinical trials (phase I or phase II) using unapproved agents and/or off-label drugs,” which are common in physician-initiated clinical studies in the EU and the US. We solicit the participants for clinical trial concepts using agents including the ones in the development pipelines of pharmaceutical companies that co-host or support this workshop. Prior to the workshop, we will have a meeting to present the drugs in the pipelines for potential studies to those who wish to participate in the workshop. After the meeting, those who are interested in applying to the workshop will be creating and submitting a protocol concept sheet which will be used to evaluate and select the final participants
