Introduction

The Comprehensive Cancer Trials Unit (CCTU) have conducted over 100 clinical and translational studies to date, with active collaborations both regionally and internationally, providing a mature infrastructure to undertake phase I/II/III cancer therapeutics evaluation studies, as well as facilitating the translation of laboratory work to the clinical setting.

Clinical research activities within the department are coordinated by the Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit (CCTU). Staffed by experienced research nurses, study coordinators and research assistants, we are able to provide a robust team to handle research logistics, data management and other ancillary services required for quality research. Having a designated biostatistician within the unit has further enhanced our clinical trials logistics capabilities.

At present, we have over 40 active clinical trials ongoing, including; the NRG/RTOG studies, industry-sponsored trials, and investigator-initiated trials. We have recruited over 400 patients within the last 12 months into various clinical trials.
