NCI’s significant investment of resources in imaging has stimulated considerable additional research activity in developing new devices, methodologies, and imaging agents. Consequently, many new methods in cancer imaging and image-guided intervention are at the preclinical stage of development. For these methods to move into the clinic, they need to be further developed and then validated in a clinical setting.
This CIP initiative supports early clinical trials of novel imaging agents and phase I studies of image-guided interventions. These trials, which are developmental R21 grants funded for two years, will ensure safety and efficacy and establish treatment parameters.
