Clinical Trials Operations Committee (CTOC)

The Patient Advocate Steering Committee (PASC) works to ensure that advocates involved with the Scientific Steering Committees and Task Forces are effectively and consistently integrated with the development, implementation and monitoring of clinical trials within those groups. PASC membership is composed of the patient advocate members of the Scientific Steering Committees. Meeting monthly, PASC:

• Develops and shares best practices for patient advocates interactions in scientific steering committees;
• Identifies common concerns and potential solutions to address the concerns;
• Identifies training needs and work with appropriate bodies to develop and implement training;
• Disseminates Scientific Steering Committee information to the appropriate advocacy communities; and
• Communicates information from and to Task Force advocates.
