ACRIN Scientific Strategy
Develop and evaluate strategies for imaging surveillance of populations at high risk for cancer. Develop and validate imaging biomarkers to predict and monitor therapy response. Evaluate the effectiveness of imaging directed therapy on improving patient management and associated outcomes. This includes comparative effectiveness studies of existing imaging methods.

Mid Term Review “Evaluation Committee members identified the Network as an invaluable national resource worthy of continued support” Screening program rated as exceptional Biomarkers program challenges acknowledged Smaller early phase studies Focus on compelling clinical problems (practice changing) Reduce trial complexity
8
Cooperative Group Reorganization
Group Consolidation: no more than 4 adult groups Formation of a “Network” Harmonization of processes Trans network collaboration Network wide prioritization
9
Implications for ACRIN
ACRIN would not be able to compete on its own for membership in the cooperative group network Opportunity for developing a formal structure for core support of the cooperative group network
10
ECOG-ACRIN Alliance “The groups plan to form an alliance that combines their complementary strengths” “The new organization will include three areas of research emphasis: early detection and diagnosis of cancer; biomarker-driven Phase II and Phase III therapeutic studies for multiple cancer types and stages; and genetic, molecular and imaging marker research to predict and monitor treatment response.”

Hopes\Challenges for the Alliance: The ACRIN Perspective
Strengthen cancer biology expertise contributing to imaging trial development More effective integration with therapeutic development Better access to trials with novel targeted therapeutics Better accrual to imaging biomarker studies Integrative approach to diagnostics Engagement of the cooperative group structure in studying the entire cancer care path Maintaining a scientific focus in early detection/diagnostics Adapting to the membership structure of the cooperative group network Maintaining the clinical trial infrastructure in the academic and practice community Continuing to be nimble enough to aggressively pursue opportunity
