Pediatric Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups and Consortia

NCI-sponsored pediatric trials are conducted primarily by the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), its phase I Consortium, the Pediatric Oncology Branch of the NCI Center for Cancer Research (CCR), the New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy (NANT) Consortium, and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium. Trials include pilot studies involving investigational agents or agents that are approved in adults but have not been sufficiently evaluated in children. DCTD, through CTEP, also supports a limited number of pediatric clinical trials through P01 program project grants and through the conventional NCI investigator-initiated research funding, such as R01s.
