Oct 2017 Chat: #clinicaltrials - How Have They Changed

While we have mentioned clinical trials in a few of our recent chats, we have not devoted an entire chat to the topic since 2014. On Wednesday October 11, 2017 at 9pm ET (8pm CT, 6pmPT) we will chat about "#clinicaltrials - How Have They Changed". 

We are happy that ASCO TAPUR Study Administrators will be joining us to discuss the TAPUR Study and how it differs from traditional trials.

Our topic questions are:

T1: What role do #clinicaltrials play in cancer treatment advances? What are some of the key trial design changes in the past 5 yrs?

T2: What is TAPUR? Why did @ASCO develop this trial? Who can participate? What makes TAPUR different from other trials?

T3: What are Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)? What progress have you seen on ensuring that trials meet patients' needs/interests? 

T4a: Have you been involved in a #clinicaltrial? 

T4b: If yes, what benefits or drawbacks did you experience? If no, what were some of the reasons? Were trials offered to you? 

T5: Per @SGO_org, there is a crisis in gyn cancer trials. How can #gyncsm support research and encourage participation in #clinicaltrials?

In preparation for the chat, you can review this Clinical Trials : Your Guide brochure:
