Imaging Guidelines for Clinical Trials
Molecular and Functional imaging guidelines for clinical trials, from sponsored workshops and other sources.

Screening and Interventional Clinical Trials
Screening and imaging interventional trials are sponsored by ACRIN and other agencies.

American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN)
ACRIN is funded to support larger, multi-center clinical trials for imaging.

Imaging Response Criteria
Information regarding Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) for imaging clinical trials.

Single Institution Feasibility Trials (R21)
Within the CIP program, the current R21 mechanism provides potential funding for small, single institution feasibility trials. The current announcement is titled In Vivo Cancer Imaging Exploratory/Developmental Grants.

Phase I/II Trials
The Cancer Imaging Program is sponsoring limited Phase I/II trials for new imaging agents and methods.

IRATs Network
The Cancer Imaging Program is supporting Imaging Response Assessment Teams (IRATs) at 8 institutions.

CCR Molecular Imaging Program
The NCI Intramural Center for Cancer Research Molecular Imaging Program is a multidisciplinary group consisting of imaging scientists, chemists, physicists, engineers and molecular biologists. There is a strong collaboration with Dr. Martin Brechbiel's Radioimmune and Inorganic Chemistry Section of the Radiation Oncology Branch, NCI. The focus of the MIP is on the clinical translation of targeted imaging agents for cancer imaging.
Additional Resources
Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP)
Often imaging is used as a surrogate marker for therapeutic trials of various cancer drugs. Specific information about this process is currently available through the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program. CIP is currently assisting CTEP in drafting more specific guidelines for the incorporation of imaging into therapeutic clinical trials.

Search for Cancer Clinical Trials
Search the world's most comprehensive cancer clinical trials database. It includes approximately 2,000 abstracts of trials that are open/active and approved for patient accrual (and 13,000 abstracts of closed clinical trials), including trials for cancer treatment, genetics, diagnosis, supportive care, screening, and prevention.

NIH Clinical Center: Imaging Sciences Program
Provides imaging resources for quality patient care, provides training, and performs basic and clinical research sponsored by the NIH Institutes and the Clinical Center.

NIH Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center
As the research hospital for the National Institutes of Health, the Clinical Center supports clinical research done by all the other Institutes and Centers, as well as conducts research done by its own staff.

ClinicalTrials.gov
Provides regularly updated information about federally and privately supported clinical research in human volunteers.
