1 International RT Clinical Trial Group Membership & Quality Control BY DR YING XIAO
2 Disclosures The Department of Radiation Oncology at Hospital of University of Pennsylvania has a research agreement with Varian Medical Systems. Dr. Ying Xiao has received speakers honoraria from Varian Medical Systems. Dr. Xiao has funding support from NCI/NIH and from Pennsylvania Department of Health
3 INTENDED USE STATEMENT Varian Medical Systems linear accelerators are intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated. SAFETY Radiation treatments may cause side effects that can vary depending on the part of the body being treated. The most frequent ones are typically temporary and may include, but are not limited to, irritation to the respiratory, digestive, urinary or reproductive systems, fatigue, nausea, skin irritation, and hair loss. In some patients, they can be severe. Treatment sessions may vary in complexity and time. Radiation treatment is not appropriate for all cancers. Medical Advice Disclaimer Varian as a medical device manufacturer cannot and does not recommend specific treatment approaches. Individual treatment results may vary. For more information, visit MyVarian.com. FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS ONLY

Of Cancer Prevention (DCP) Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Pharmaceutical Management Branch (PMB) Clinical Trials Monitoring Branch (CTMB) Clinical Investigations Branch (CIB)
7 NCI National Clinical Trials Network The NCTN structure includes five U.S. Network groups and the Canadian Collaborating Clinical Trials Network. Membership in the individual NCTN groups is based on criteria that are specific to each group. Sites can belong to more than one group, and membership in at least one group allows a site to participate in the trials led by any NCTN group for which their investigators are qualified. Consequently, researchers from NCORP, academic centers, community practices, and international members associated with the Network groups may all enroll patients onto NCTN trials. 7
8 Membership Types / Funding Sources TIER 1 Parent: Main Member (accruing or TIER 2 Children: Affiliates TIER 3 Grandchildren: Sub-Affiliates non-accruing)
9 Membership Types (cont.) TIER 1 Parent: NCORP Grantee (Administrative) TIER 2 Children: NCORP Components NCORP Sub- TIER 3 Grandchildren: Components
10 Lead Academic Participating Site (LAPS) Definition Designated by and funded through a grant from the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD). Provide direct medical care to patients/study participants and have a comprehensive medical training program, as well as preclinical laboratories that perform basic research.

12 Sub Affiliate / Sub Component Definition Healthcare practice locations, for example, clinics, physician offices or treatment locations. These locations are used by registered investigators to consent, register / enroll and treat patients. Can be Sub Affiliate of a Tier 1 or Tier 2. Usually owned by institution in tier above them Not convenience sites or clinics with physicians rotating through
13 Membership Requirements TIER 1: Parents (Main Member, NCORP, LAPS) Required to accrue 15 patient cases per year to NRG Maintain satisfactory data quality and audit performance Affiliate accrual will count toward the 15 case requirement Accrual credited to NRG will also count
14 Membership Requirements TIER 1: Parents (Main Member, NCORP, LAPS) (cont.) Parent institutions are able to designate up to 3 PIs - Should represent different medical specialties Per case reimbursement for affiliates will go to the Parent
15 Membership Requirements Affiliate Members Aligned with a Main Member Affiliates permitted to contract with only one Main Member North American affiliates required to accrue 3 cases per year International affiliates required to accrue 7 cases per year
16 Adding Institutions to the NRG Oncology Roster New Main Members / NCORPs / LAPS (TIER 1): Extensive review by Membership Committee LAPS and NCORPs (entire grant package accepted) New Affiliates: Review by membership staff for completeness Signed by Main Member Approved by Deputy Chair of Membership New Sub Affiliates: Review by membership staff for completeness

23 Goal & Purpose of the Clinical Trial Enterprise The overall goal for the NCTN is to conduct randomized phase 2 and phase 3 clinical treatment trials and primary advanced imaging trials across a broad range of diseases and diverse patient populations as part of the NCI s overall clinical research program for adults and children with cancer. The overall goal for the NCORP is to conduct trials to improve cancer prevention, cancer control, screening, cancer care delivery, and post-treatment management. All NCORP sites enroll patients in NCTN trials. 23
24 Aims of CIRO 1) Promote innovative RT research within the entire NCTN Accelerate the testing of new radiation oncology innovations in NCTN clinical trials in all groups Facilitate the application of innovations across all appropriate protocols 2) Foster intergroup collaboration and protocol harmonization in terms of inclusion and description of RT techniques and delivery devices Reduce timelines for development of new protocols Improve the clarity of NCTN protocols
25 WEBPAGE The CIRO webpage provides several resources for the network such as atlases, protocol templates for RT sections, and applications to facilitate RT data preparation and submission.
