The Jumpstarting Brain Tumor Drug Development Coalition (JBTDDC) announced a new consensus protocol for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain tumor clinical trials to help assess if a new treatment is effective.
The Jumpstarting Brain Tumor Drug Development Coalition (JBTDDC) announced a new consensus protocol for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain tumor clinical trials to help assess if a new treatment is effective. A standardized protocol will encourage the brain tumor drug development by providing an accepted way to capture imaging information essential to the evaluation of future treatments
As is the case across all oncology clinical trials, Overall Survival (OS) is the “gold standard” measurement of investigational brain tumor therapies’ effectiveness. However, OS trials are lengthy and expensive. Therefore, the field of neuro-oncology has a long-standing interest in using alternative endpoints that use imaging to measure tumor progression and response to determine the relative value of an investigational treatment.
