“The NCTN, albeit imperfect, serves a critical role in advancing cancer care by:
1. Conducting pragmatic trials pharma/industry would never sponsor
2. Enrolling across a diverse network (>3K sites) representative of a “real world” population
Great editorial Ted Hong and Thomas George.“
Shaalan Beg, Senior Advisor for Clinical Research at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), shared this post on X, adding:
“Don’t forget: many landmark trials at ASCO25 (e.g. ATOMIC, PDIGREE, CHALLENGE) were powered by National Cancer Institute/NCTN
Such studies ask high-impact, public-benefit questions that industry often won’t/can’t answer.”
