To tackle the human health challenges that face the world today, the FNIH develops collaborations with top experts from government, industry, academia and the not-for-profit sector and provides a neutral environment where we can work productively toward a common goal.
Phase II trial of novel investigative breast cancer agents in the neoadjuvant setting that uses biomarkers and adaptive design to accelerate the clinical trial process.
The project seeks to show that a liquid biopsy can serve as a source of rare circulating cells (CTCs) to comprehensively represent the traditional solid biopsy. The project is designed in two stages to demonstrate the correlation between liquid and solid biopsies in an observational clinical study with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients undergoing resection of liver metastases.
The Biomarkers Consortium’s Hospital-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP) and Ventilator-Associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP) Project aims to develop clinically relevant endpoints in clinical trials to improve antibacterial trial feasibility.
Build the case for FDA incorporation of FDG-PET into outcome measures for lung cancer and lymphoma.
The Biomarkers Consortium’s Developing Endpoints for Clinical Trials in CABP and Skin Infections aims to develop approaches that will help the U.S. Food and Drug Administration develop efficacy outcome measures (endpoints) for modern-day clinical trials of investigational agents for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).
The Consortium will establish a technical and data infrastructure for reliably measuring social function, allowing the collaborating sites to work together as a single unit. The goal is to create a set of measures that can be used in clinical trials to determine which treatments are best for which patients and who will benefit from a particular treatment. The ultimate goal is to further develop and validate a set of measures that can be used as stratification biomarkers and/or sensitive and reliable objective measures of social impairment in autism spectrum disorders that could serve as indicative markers of long term clinical outcome.
