Cancer Trials Ireland has worked with the pharmaceutical industry and collaborative research groups for many years to bring new trials to Ireland for people with cancer in line with our vision.
Cancer Trials Ireland supports the feasibility process for both collaborative research groups and industry sponsored cancer clinical trials providing a central point of contact and expert service across all disease and therapeutic areas in Ireland.
All feasibility requests are processed with the aim of maximising success of the trial opening in Ireland. Our ranges of services include the following which can be tailored to specific needs.
- Country-level feasibility: Discussion with and feedback from Cancer Trials Ireland’s Disease Specific Sub Group (DSSG) Chairs to determine scientific and clinical interest and suitability for adoption into the Cancer Trials Ireland portfolio before individual site feasibility is performed.
- Pre-feasibility to identify interested sites
- Distribution of company Confidentiality Agreement (CDA) to sites (if required); tracking, collation, and return to company/group
- Feasibility Questionnaire development
- Feasibility Questionnaire adaption to country requirements
- Feasibility Questionnaire distribution to sites, follow-up, tracking, collation, report
- Site selection/ site selection recommendation based on feasibility
All trials that go through this process and opened to accrual in Ireland are adopted into the Cancer Trials Ireland portfolio, assigned a Cancer Trials Ireland number and listed on our website. Read the benefits of having a trial adopted into the Cancer Trials Ireland portfolio.
