8 New Physician Members Kerry Williams-Wuch, MD: Anderson, SC Trevor Austin, MD: Asheville, NC Yanis Bellil, MD: Charleston, SC Kumar Abhishek, MD: Richmond, VA Arvind Bakhru, MD and Jeffrey Kuremsky, MD: Winston-Salem, NC

9 Performance Site Codes Also referred to as NCI CTEP institutional codes Site code designated at registration is the location where the majority of patient assessment (MD visits) for the research study is done. Treatment and/or consenting may be done at another location. SCOR has 42 Components 51 Sub-components

10 Component Definition A hospital, cancer center, physician practice or other institution where patients/participants are enrolled on a regular and ongoing basis to the menu of NCI-approved clinical trials available to the NCORP Community Site. The component may own physician practices, cancer centers, etc. geographically located on the same campus which do NOT have to be classified as a sub-component. Example: Goldsboro, NC has 5 components Wayne Memorial Hospital (Goldsboro) Wilson Medical Center (Wilson) Southeastern Medical Oncology Center/SMOC (Goldsboro) Onslow Memorial Hospital (Jacksonville) Wayne Radiation Oncology (Goldsboro)

11 Sub-Component Definition A practice or organization that contributes to the overall accrual of a component site but is located in a separate geographic location, is part of the component’s business entity, and is managed by the primary component. Example: Goldsboro, NC has 4 sub-components SMOC in Wilson (Component is SMOC) SMOC in Jacksonville (Component is SMOC) SMOC in Clinton (Component is SMOC) Sampson Radiation Oncology (located in Clinton & component is Wayne Rad Onc)

16 16 SCOR Accrual Credits Year 01 (8/1/14 – 1/31/15) Community Accruals NCI Assigned Quota Credits RX/CC 507615 Supplemental funding of $150K for 60 extra credits when exceed assigned quota.

17 NCI Funding and Credit System As of March 2, 2015, NCI changed the credits given for base intervention or parent clinical trial registrations Base intervention registrations are now 1.0 credit (previously 1.6 credit) for the majority of clinical trials Credit for ancillary studies are impacted by this alteration in base intervention credits.

18 Example for New Credit Assignment SWOG S1202 Prior CreditNew Credit 1.6 (base intervention) 1.0 (base intervention) Current Payment $2,720.00 0.08 (bio-specimen) 0.05 (bio-specimen) Current Payment $85.00 (the credit and payment will change with new funding sheet from NCI)

19 SCOR Registrations NCTN registrations are thru OPEN Credits for protocols should be given to the research base coordinating the studies

20 Examples Alliance (composed of CALGB, NCCTG, and ACOSOG legacy studies) registrations must be credited to Alliance NRG (composed of NSABP, RTOG, and GOG legacy studies) registrations must be credited to NRG SWOG registrations must be credited to SWOG

21 Other Registrations Registrations done through OPEN for ECOG- ACRIN or NCIC-CTG studies may be credited to any of the following research bases: Alliance NRG SWOG It is best to credit registrations to a specific study to one research base to avoid being audited by multiple research bases

22 Accrual Requirement With the decreased credit assignment of 1.0 for the majority of clinical trials, there will be no individual MD accrual requirement. Community accrual will be assessed on a quarterly basis. Leadership will communicate with communities having no accruals to determine issues being faced and ways to increase accruals.

23 NCI Central Institutional Review Board (NCI-CIRB) SCOR sites still pending NCI CIRB approval Charleston Charlotte Hendersonville/Park Ridge Winston-Salem NCI CIRB participation is a requirement for NCORP sites

24 Travel to Research Base Meetings Any community investigators and research staff that is a member of SCOR may request travel support to research base meetings Travel support is dependent on the NCI funds available Submit request to Debbie Eaton at deaton@southeastclinicaloncology.org

63 Discussion of SCOR Fall Meeting There is plans to have Governing Council and Executive Board meetings Piedmont Oncology Conference September 10-12, 2015 Renaissance Hotel Asheville, NC

64 SCOR Cancer Care Delivery Research Update Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN SCOR CCDR Coordinator March 21, 2015

65 Cancer Care Delivery Research NCORP requires a least one site to participate in CCDR SCOR has two sites ▫ Gibbs Cancer Center at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center ▫ Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center

66 NCI Update CCDR is new focus for NCI NCI is figuring out the program Still a lot of unanswered questions NCI Committees ▫ CCDR Steering Committee- Review approved study concepts ▫ CCDR Coordinating Committee  Determine CCDR priorities  Metrics of participations

67 NCI Committees CCDR Steering Committee-still forming CCDR Coordinating Committee – SCOR representatives ▫ Judith Hopkins, MD (URCC Representative) ▫ Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN (Community Representative) CCDR Metrics of Participation Working Group ▫ Lucy Gansauer (Community Representative)

68 SCOR CCDR Committees SCOR CCDR Committee James Bearden, MD Judith Hopkins, MD Susan Tuttle, RN Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN SCOR CCDR Site Coordinating Committee Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN (Gibbs) – Lead Coordinator Gibbs CCDR Staff Dena Webb (Novant) – Lead Coordinator Novant CCDR Staff

69 Capacity Assessment Research Bases are required by NCI to conducting capacity assessment ▫ Sites will be asked to respond to questionnaires or data requests ▫ Sites are encouraged to respond to these requests ▫ Copy the SCOR Administrative Office when sending in the information ▫ We can count this work as effort towards CCDR

70 Research Base Activity Alliance CCDR Committee Judith Hopkins, MD Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN James Bearden, MD NRG CCDR Committee Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN SWOG CCDR (still forming) URCC (heavily engaged in CCDR type of studies) Judith Hopkins, MD Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN Dena Webb Wake Forest CCDR Committee Judith Hopkins, MD Lucy Gansauer, RN, MSN James Bearden, MD

71 CCDR Research Questions Research Bases are looking for good research questions from the community sites Dr. Hopkins and Lucy Gansauer have submitted CCDR study concepts to Alliance, URCC, Wake Forest, and NRG

72 Next Year No CCDR studies approved currently by NCI Anticipate CCDR studies coming in Fall 2015 ▫ NRG is developing a study with Kaiser Permanente NCORP ▫ Not sure what other studies are in the pipeline Anticipate request for capacity assessment related to site ability to mine data at each site
