Full Text of Announcement Section I. Notice of Funding Opportunity Description This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is one of three NOFOs for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). NCORP is designed to enhance generalizability and dissemination of clinical trial and other human research study results through accrual in a variety of community settings.
The purpose of NCORP is to engage cancer patient populations, those at risk of cancer, and organizations in rigorous studies focused on cancer control, prevention, treatment and care delivery.
NCORP will support the following components that will be individually awarded through the respective Request for Applications (RFAs) indicated below: RFA-CA-27-006: NCORP Research Bases (UG1 Clinical Trials Required); RFA-CA-27-007: NCORP Community Sites (UG1 Clinical Trials Not Allowed); and RFA-CA-27-008 (This NOFO): NCORP Academic Community Sites (UG1 Clinical Trials Not Allowed) NCORP Academic Community Sites are a consortium led by an academic center with a network of community hospitals and/or oncology practices, public hospitals, and/ or other healthcare centers that serve a patient population that can enhance the representativeness of participants accrued to cancer control, prevention, treatment and care delivery clinical trials and other human subjects research.
The academic medical center should have a robust infrastructure to support the accrual of participants across their affiliate organizations.
NCORP Research Bases will serve as the program's research hubs and are expected to: Provide an established organizational structure, with scientific and statistical leadership for developing, implementing, and analyzing multi-institutional cancer control, prevention, and care delivery (CCP&CD) clinical research, as well as quality-of-life studies embedded in treatment and imaging studies.
Assume responsibility for study operations and data management, including efficient protocol development; compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) regulatory and participant protection requirements; auditing; training; quality assurance; and support to Community Sites and Academic Community Sites.
Be based at institutions with comprehensive cancer clinical research expertise (e.g., cancer foundation, NCI-designated Cancer Center, or healthcare research organization – including NCI's National Clinical Trials Network Group Operations Centers).
NCORP Community Sites are consortia of community hospitals and/or oncology practices, which may or may not be formally affiliated with a healthcare system, that accrues participants to cancer control, prevention, treatment, and care delivery clinical trials and other human subjects research.
Key Definitions for the context of this NOFO: The terms Clinical Research and Clinical Trials in this NOFO follow the NIH definitions ( https://grants. nih. gov/policy/clinical-trials/glossary-ct.
htm#ClinicalResearch ). The terms Human Subject and Human Subjects Research in this NOFO follow the NIH definitions ( https://grants. nih.
gov/grants/glossary. htm#HumanSubject ) NCI Central Institutional Review Board (Central IRB): is a centralized approach to human subject protection through a process that streamlines local IRB review of selected NCI-sponsored trials for institutions across the country by relying on national experts to ensure trials are reviewed efficiently and with the highest ethical and quality standards ( https://www. ncicirb.
org/about-cirb/ ). Community Site Primary Affiliate: In the context of NCORP community-based structure, an "affiliate" refers to a hospital, cancer center, physician practice, or other institution where patients/participants are enrolled on a regular and ongoing basis to the menu of NCI-approved clinical trials and other human subjects research available to the NCORP Community Site or Academic Community Site.
Community Site Sub-Affiliate : In the context of NCORP community-based structure, a "sub-affiliate" refers to a practice or organization that contributes to the overall accrual of a primary affiliate site but is located in a separate geographic location(s), is part of the primary affiliates business entity, and is managed by the primary affiliate under the primary Affiliate Sites Federal Wide Assurance (FWA).
Research Base Member Sites: Members sites affiliated with a given Research Base may include NCORP Community and Academic Community Sites, Main members, affiliates, and Lead Academic Participating sites. Whereas various academic medical centers play a crucial role in cancer clinical research, the majority of cancer care takes place in the community setting.
Academic centers can play a critical role in helping to support enrollment in their network of community sites.
Expanding clinical research beyond the academic environment allows access to a larger and more diverse patient population treated in a variety of healthcare delivery settings, which can accelerate accrual to cancer clinical trials and other human subjects research and increase the generalizability and relevance of study findings.
In addition, research in community settings reflects the complexity of cancer care delivery and engages community oncologists in research to develop care delivery approaches that can be implemented within usual clinical workflow. NCI has supported cancer clinical research within community settings for over three decades.
The participation of community oncologists, clinicians, non-oncology specialists, and primary care physicians in cancer clinical trials has facilitated the introduction of research advances into practices throughout the country. The era of genomics and molecularly-targeted therapy necessitates shifts in the delivery of cancer-related care.
The foundation of NCORP is the conduct of multi-site cancer clinical trials and other human subjects research in primary focus areas of cancer control, prevention and care delivery. In addition, NCORP plays an important role in the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN), a major NCI-supported infrastructure for cancer clinical trials.
Approximately 30 -35% of the patients enrolled on NCTN clinical trials, including precision medicine studies, are from NCORP sites.
The Academic Community Sites, in particular, allow academic centers with strong research in cancer control, prevention, and cancer care delivery to link physicians caring for large numbers of patients to the NCI clinical trials network and provide support to their affiliate community sites to accrue a representative patient population to clinical trials.
The NCORP Community Sites and Academic Community Sites have responded to many of the challenges associated with implementation of precision medicine by providing quality specimens for genomic sequencing and establishing a multidisciplinary team to support the newer generations of clinical research.
Recent advances in technology are providing new opportunities to characterize premalignancies in ways that will enhance the development of cancer prevention interventions, and biomarkers of response to those interventions, and biomarkers of risk.
NCORPs diversity in patient age, race/ethnicity, and geographic location as well as partnerships with non-oncology practices provides a natural laboratory for the development of strategies for precision prevention to improve efficiency and to balance the risks and benefits of interventions.
Community organizations have proven to be well positioned to promote science of symptom management, cancer prevention, and surveillance and increase the representativeness of clinical research.
NCORP has streamlined its scientific and operational processes and expanded its review structure with three NCI Coordinating Center for Clinical Trials (CCCT) dedicated scientific Steering Committees, (Symptom Management & Quality of Life, Cancer Care Delivery, and Cancer Prevention) that provide peer-review for scientific concepts.
Access to the Clinical Trials Support Unit (CTSU) allows sites access to all current study materials and the Central Investigational Review Board (CIRB) provides human subject review, all of which increase efficiency and reduce redundancy. The infrastructure supports all areas of science and study designs including observational, interventional, and mixed methods.
Overall Goals of NCORP and Scope of this NOFO The overall goal of NCORP is to bring cancer clinical research studies to individuals in their own communities, thereby generating a broadly applicable evidence base that contributes to improved patient outcomes. The role of NCORP Research Bases is to serve as a main research infrastructure for NCORP Community Sites and Academic Community Sites.
Through affiliations with one or more NCORP Research Bases the Sites gain access to this infrastructure as well as provide valuable community perspective and input on the relevance and feasibility of the trial menu. The roles of NCORP Community Sites and Academic Community Sites are to provide access to clinical trials close to where patients live in the community.
To address the NCORP goals, NCORP Academic Community Sites will be expected to contribute to and focus on the following activities: Participate as part of an integrated national network of community organizations to increase the involvement of community oncologists and other medical specialists, and their patients, in multi-institutional cancer control, prevention, and care delivery research, as well as quality-of-life studies embedded within treatment and imaging studies conducted under the NCORP and NCTN.
Interact with the NCORP Research Bases by: 1) providing insight into clinical significance during concept development; 2) identifying care challenges in their local populations that could be studied; 3) providing input on feasibility during protocol development; and 4) serving as community champions for trials.
Meeting or exceeding the required annual 70 new unique patient/participant accruals evenly distributed between cancer control, prevention, and screening/post-treatment surveillance trials, and treatment and imaging trials, respectively. Pediatric NCORP Sites must meet or exceed 50 new unique patient/participant accruals evenly distributed between cancer control and treatment trials.
If accrual exceeds 200 unique patient accruals per year, the site will be considered high performance and must continue to meet this performance metric to continue reimbursement at the higher rate. Assessment of high performance status will occur every 2 years.
For those who propose cancer care delivery participation, sites must meet or exceed a required annual minimum of enrolling individual participants or organizations to cancer care delivery protocols. These minima are defined as follows: Adult and combined adult/pediatric NCORP Sites will be required to have three care delivery protocols actively enrolling per year.
Pediatric NCORP Sites will be required to have one care delivery protocol actively enrolling per year. Meeting or exceeding a required minimum of one Primary Affiliate participating in each capacity assessment as offered. Sites with adult and pediatric affiliates are required to have a minimum of one adult and one pediatric affiliate participating.
Participating in bio-specimen collection for biobanks that serve as a scientific resource for NCORP Research Bases. Participating in NCORP initiatives to document screening efforts including participation in DCP-001 for clinical trial enrollment. Pediatric sites are expected to participate in screening efforts through the Children's Oncology Group.
Engaging with their community on the importance and impact of clinical trials. Scope of Activities for NCORP Academic Community Sites The scope of research activities for the proposed NCORP Academic Community Sites should encompass three major areas delineated below. Area 1 : Cancer Control Research; and Area 2 : Cancer Prevention Research; and Area 3 : Cancer Care Delivery Research (optional).
Cancer control research is aimed at reducing the morbidities associated with cancer and its treatment, as well as improving the quality of life of individuals undergoing cancer treatment or with a history of cancer. Cancer prevention research is aimed at reducing cancer risk, incidence and mortality.
Cancer care delivery research seeks to improve clinical outcomes and patient well-being by intervening on patient, clinician, and organizational factors that influence care delivery. Academic Community Sites must be capable of participation and accrual to NCTN treatment trials.
NCORP Trans-network Interactions All NCORP participants will be expected to work jointly towards the overall NCORP goals by using the following general strategies: Development and maintenance of a governance and organizational structure to coordinate NCORP activities at the Academic Community Site.
The organizational structure of the Academic Community Site should be established with clear and appropriate staff roles and reporting responsibilities. Development of a plan and process for prioritizing the NCORP and NCTN trials to be activated at their institutions and assessing if the study can be successful at the Affiliate community sites.
Development of procedures for high-quality, timely protocol data submission that are clearly communicated to all investigators at the Academic Community Site. Support other research activities as a research base member site contributing to industry support or foundation supported studies. See Section VIII.
