Attachment 1. Consultations NCI Advisory Boards

NCI Advisory Boards

NCI staff members have made 22 presentations concerning the CTRP Database to three NCI federal advisory committees, each of which is authorized pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 285a-2(b)(7), section 413(b)(7) of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2).

1. Clinical and Translational Research Advisory Committee (CTAC)

NCI staff members have made 7 presentations to the NCI Clinical and Translational Research Advisory Committee (CTAC) concerning the CTRP Database as follows: January 2007, July 2007, November 2007, February 2008, June 2008, December 2008 and March 2009. Minutes for CTAC meetings can be found at http://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/ctac/ctacminmenu.htm.

The CTAC is the NCI advisory committee that reviews and delivers feedback on the plans, progress and timelines for the CTRP Database. The CTAC is charged with overseeing the implementation of all 22 recommendations of the 2005 report of the Clinical Trials Working Group to the National Cancer Advisory Board.

The CTAC consists of 25 members, including the Director, NCI, who chairs the Committee. At least five members must hold concurrent membership on either the National Cancer Advisory Board, Board of Scientific Advisors, Board of Scientific Counselors (Basic Sciences and Clinical Sciences and Epidemiology), or Director’s Consumer Liaison Group. CTAC members are required to be authorities knowledgeable in the fields of community oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, patient advocacy, extramural clinical investigation, regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical industry, public health, clinical trials design, management and evaluation, drug development and developmental therapeutics, cancer education, cancer information services, community outreach, vaccine development, cellular oncology, molecular oncology, pediatric oncology, clinical, basic and translational research, cancer center administration, cancer biology and diagnosis, cancer epidemiology, chemotherapy, community outreach, oncology health care providers, pharmacology, pathology, biostatistics, quality of life, pain management, cancer treatment and restorative care, and education of health professionals.

Ex officio members include NCI Deputy Directors, the Director for the Division of Extramural Activities, NCI, the Director for the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, an NCI intramural scientist engaged in clinical research, and representatives from the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs.

The CTAC makes recommendations on the NCI-supported national clinical trials enterprise to build a strong scientific infrastructure by bringing together a broadly developed and engaged coalition of stakeholders involved in the clinical trials process. This encompasses oversight of all trials both extramural and intramural. The CTAC provides broad scientific and programmatic advice on the investment of tax payer dollars in clinical trials and supportive science, resulting in enormous potential for more specific cancer treatment, coupled with the complexity of evaluating new, highly specific agents integrating knowledge, insights, and skills of multiple fields into a new kind of cross-disciplinary, scientifically-driven, cooperative research endeavor. In addition, the CTAC makes recommendations regarding the effectiveness of NCI’s translational research management and administration program, including needs and opportunities across disease sites, patient populations, translational developmental pathways, and the range of molecular mechanisms responsible for cancer development. The CTAC advises on the appropriate magnitude for dedicated translational research priorities and recommend allocation of translational research operations across organizational units, programs, disease sites, populations, developmental pathways, and molecular mechanisms. The CTAC also ensures that appropriate emphasis is placed on rare cancers, medically underserved populations, and historically lower-resourced pathways to clinical goals.

The goal is to foster an open, collaborative system involving all the critical stakeholders in the prioritization process bringing diverse institutions and individuals together into an integrated and efficient, but innovative and responsive effort, thus moving discoveries to benefit cancer patients.

Meetings of the full Committee are held approximately 3 times within a fiscal year. Meetings are open to the public except as determined otherwise by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) in accordance with subsection (c) of section 552b of Title 5 U.S.C.
