Insights

The National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) advances cancer research through public funding. A 2017 meeting outlined a strategic roadmap to prioritize future NCTN research initiatives for improved cancer control and therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Clinical Trials Research
  • Cancer Therapeutics

Background:

  • The National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) is vital for practice-changing cancer research.
  • Public funding, primarily from the National Cancer Institute, supports critical research not feasible in the private sector.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current research capabilities of the NCTN.
  • To identify and prioritize future research questions for the NCTN.

Main Methods:

  • Convening of a Scientific Leadership Council by the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups in Fall 2017.
  • Review of the NCTN's research landscape and capabilities.
  • Development of a prioritized list of research questions.

Main Results:

  • Assessment of the NCTN's existing research strengths and limitations.
  • Identification of key areas for future research focus.
  • A defined roadmap for the NCTN's future endeavors.

Conclusions:

  • The NCTN is a critical infrastructure for advancing cancer care.
  • Strategic prioritization of research questions will guide future NCTN work.
  • The outlined roadmap will direct future NCTN research efforts for enhanced cancer control and therapeutic development.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators02:13

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome.  Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form...

Electrical Current01:10

Electrical Current

Electrical current is defined as the rate at which charge flows. When there is a large current present, such as that used to run a refrigerator, a large amount of charge moves through the wire in a small amount of time. If the current is small, such as that used to operate a handheld calculator, a small amount of charge moves through the circuit over a long period of time. The SI unit for current is the ampere (A), named for the French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836).
