The US National Cancer Institute (NCI), in collaboration with scientists representing multiple areas of expertise relevant to 'omics'-based test development, has developed a checklist of criteria that can be used to determine the readiness of omics-based tests for guiding patient care in clinical trials. The checklist criteria cover issues relating to specimens, assays, mathematical modelling, clinical trial design, and ethical, legal and regulatory aspects. Funding bodies and journals are encouraged to consider the checklist, which they may find useful for assessing study quality and evidence strength. The checklist will be used to evaluate proposals for NCI-sponsored clinical trials in which omics tests will be used to guide therapy.
美国国家癌症研究所(NCI)与代表与基于组学的测试开发相关的多个专业领域的科学家合作,制定了一份检查表,可用于确定基于组学的测试是否准备好用于指导临床试验中的患者护理。检查表标准涵盖与标本、检测、数学模型、临床试验设计以及伦理、法律和监管方面相关的问题。鼓励资助机构和期刊考虑使用该检查表,他们可能会发现它有助于评估研究质量和证据强度。该检查表将用于评估由 NCI 资助的临床试验的提案,其中将使用组学测试来指导治疗。
