Oncology Clinical Trials Series
Developed by Claire Dees, MD, ScM

The Oncology Clinical Trials series, developed by Claire Dees, MD, ScM, provides an introduction to clinical research in oncology, with a focus on the design and conduct of clinical trials. Topics include trial design, implementation, regulatory and ethical considerations, data management, and common challenges in oncology research.

The series also introduces complementary areas such as biomarkers, correlative studies, and other approaches that support therapeutic trials, along with considerations for career development in clinical research.

This series is designed for fellows, faculty, and oncology advanced practice providers (APPs) across cancer-related disciplines, including medical, hematologic, gynecologic, urologic, head and neck, pediatric, surgical, and radiation oncology.
