17,500 Participants Needed to Enroll in Major Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Breakthroughs in the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

Recently a group of experts from the oncology research community, academia, cancer cooperative groups, patient advocacy, and industry identified trials as high priority colorectal clinical studies that address important research opportunities and merit support for rapid completion. Combined, these ten large studies require more than 17,500 participants.

The Coalition's Scientific Leadership Council in Genitourinary (GI) Cancer presented these trials as part of their recommendations for the future direction of colorectal cancer research at a forum in Washington DC in December 2005 and at a major GI cancer meeting in San Francisco in January 2006.
