PART 4: Appendices Section III – Schema for Review/Evaluation of NCTN Study Proposals III. Schema of NCI/DCTD Study Proposal Review/Evaluation NCI/DCTD Review/Evaluation Process for NCTN Study Proposals PILOT and PHASE 1 Letter of Intent (LOI) Review by NCI/DCTD PRC Yes Intervention Trials (Treatment and Advanced Imaging) PHASE 1/2 and PHASE 2 Response to CTEP Mass or Specific Solicitation? No Total Sample Size < 100 Letter of Intent (LOI) Review by NCI/DCTD PRC CTEP may refer therapeutic trials with total sample sizes ≥ 90 < 100 to NCI SSCs No Total Sample Size ≥ 100 (or any pediatric phase 2 or pediatric pilot study ≥ 100) PHASE 2/3 and PHASE 3 Concept Evaluation by NCI Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) If no NCI SSC in disease, then NCI/DCTD PRC review (w/ ad hoc extramural reviewers) OR If study is in response to an NCI/DCTD specific solicitation, then NCI/DCTD PRC review Non-Intervention Study (i.e., Correlative Science Study with request for banked biospecimens from an NCTN trial) Study Proposal Review by NCI/DCTD PRC or NCI/DCTD-Approved Correlative Science Committee Review with comments by NCI/DCTD company collaborator per IP Option may be necessary Page 210 of 241 Review of study proposals may be expedited depending on # and type of specimens requested and clinical data requested
