Virtually all cancer clinical trials are funded by agencies of the federal government or the pharmaceutical industry, so the focus is on the requirements for each of these groups. The paper is intended as a jumping off point for the NCPB to consider some of the pressing policy issues surrounding clinical trials in cancer, though as yet, no specific follow-on projects have been initiated UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=123575 ER -
