Clinical Trials Management

Shared Resource Overview

The Clinical Trials Management Shared Resource (CTMSR), provides comprehensive, centralized support services that span the life cycle of cancer clinical trials from concept through manuscript, and assures that the patient population and resources needed to successfully conduct these trials in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations are in place. The CTMSR is functionally organized into four distinct groups:

Study Implementation and Regulatory Compliance provides project development/management and regulatory affairs functions and administrative support for the KUCC Protocol Review and Monitoring System.
Research Finance provides comprehensive budget development, financial management for active protocols and research billing compliance.
Clinical Trials provides research nursing, study coordination and data management coordination.
Research Assurance provides monitoring, auditing and quality assurance/ control oversight of clinical research and administratively supports the KUCC Data and Safety Monitoring Committee.

The CTMSR has facilitated significant growth of investigator-driven clinical research at KUCC, while implementing and administering cost-effective processes to ensure that the research activities have scientific merit, protect safety, maintain scientific integrity and are fiscally sound.
