Clinical trials play a critical role in discovering new treatments, but the path to regulatory approval can be cumbersome and time consuming. Efforts to increase the efficiency and interpretability of clinical trials within the neuro-oncology community have focused on standardization of response assessment, development of consensus guidelines for clinical trial conduct, decentralization of clinical trials, removal of barriers to clinical trial accrual, and re-examination of patient eligibility criteria.
临床试验在发现新疗法方面发挥着关键作用,但获得监管批准的过程可能繁琐且耗时。神经肿瘤学界为提高临床试验的效率和可解释性所做的努力集中在反应评估的标准化、临床试验实施共识指南的制定、临床试验去中心化、消除临床试验入组障碍以及重新审查患者资格标准上。
