EORTC Education Office Program 2011

This course is dedicated to newly participating members (investigators, data managers, research nurses, etc.), and industry representatives. The purpose of this introductory workshop is to give guidance for participating in EORTC clinical trials activities. Participants will receive information about the functioning of the EORTC and about Trials methodology, investigator / site quality requirements and control, patient safety management, adequate data collection and pitfalls for reliable data. Furthermore you will be shown our on-line registration /randomization process and remote data capture system. It also provides an opportunity to visit the EORTC Headquarters and to have informal discussions with the Headquarters staff.

Evidence based cancer diagnosis and treatment of cancer increasingly depend on the development on new molecular markers for the assessment of prognosis, treatment selection and agent development. This meeting is an important venue for the discussion of contemporary issues in molecular pathology, assay development, clinical trial design and the development of promising serum and tissues markers as research tools and clinically meaningful laboratory tests. The meeting will bring together clinicians, pathologists, laboratory scientists, statisticians and representatives from the pharmaceutical industry as well as regulatory agencies, providing the opportunity for a maximum of interaction and discussion.

The course is designed to Clinical Research Coordinators (Data Managers, Project Managers, Research Nurses, Radiation Technologists, etc.), with the aim to stimulate, improve and expand the collaboration; develop the different skills, roles and knowledge of those working within the clinical research environment. Participation to the course will therefore have a positive impact upon quality and management of clinical trials. The aim of the course is to facilitate an in depth exploration of the administrative and practical issues related to clinical trials, based on an exchange of knowledge and experience by faculty and participants.

Groups' oriented sessions will be conducted in parallel with a review of groups' ongoing studies as well as reporting the status of protocols under development and new proposals.

	Code: STATS 2011 CLINICAL TRIAL STATISTICS FOR NON STATISTICIANS (annual course) 14-17 June, Brussels, Belgium	This course is designed as an introduction to the statistical principles, which form the basis for the design and analysis of cancer clinical trials. It will concentrate on the philosophy and understanding of the statistical principles that are used on a day-to-day basis in conducting clinical trials and will not simply present statistical formulae in a cookbook fashion. This course is aimed at non statisticians (medical doctors, data managers, etc.) who are already working in the field of clinical trials and who have completed an introductory course in statistics, or at statisticians with little or no experience in clinical trials.
