The Ethical Imperative of Timely Reporting of PRO Data in Oncology Trials
When: Tuesday, April 15 at 2:00 pm EST
Speakers: Eric Blackstone (PhD), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Michael Brundage (MSc, FRCPC, MD), Queen’s University
Description: This session will explore the ethical and scientific importance of PRO data, the challenges of delayed reporting, and practical solutions for improving transparency in clinical research. Expert speakers will share key insights from recent studies and discuss best practices for ensuring that PROs meaningfully inform cancer treatment decisions.
Uninformative Clinical Trials: Why They Happen and How Advocates Can Drive Change
When: Thursday, June 12 at 3:00 pm EST
Speaker: Nora Hutchinson (MD), University of California, San Francisco
Description: Too many clinical trials fail to provide meaningful answers that improve patient outcomes. These “uninformative” trials waste resources, delay progress, and leave patients without the critical evidence needed to make informed decisions. Why do such trials continue to be conducted? What are the structural and systemic factors that allow them to persist? And most importantly, how can patient advocates push for trials that truly advance breast cancer research and treatment?
