The University of Illinois at Chicago, Rush University Medical Center, and John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County Program exists to meet the needs of an extremely diverse population who currently struggle with cancer or who have survived this terrible disease but are at great risk for many long-term health problems. UIC, Rush, and Stroger Medical Centers anchor the near west side of Chicago and serve incredibly vulnerable patients and families, the majority of whom have very limited personal resources, medical knowledge, and English language skills. This grant supports a Clinical Research Associate to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

Developing new therapies from medicine to procedures is the best way to cure cancer and save lives. Clinical trials are research studies involving people of all ages to see if a new drug or medical device is safe and effective. One of the nation’s top children’s hospitals for cancer care, Lurie Children’s offers more pediatric clinical trials than any other hospital in the state. With more studies, their specialists have many options when treating a child with cancer. The success of a clinical trial depends on trained clinical research professionals (CRPs) to manage the study, from enrolling participants to reporting data in a timely and accurate manner. Like many healthcare professionals, CRPs are in high demand due to labor shortages and a very competitive marketplace. With more resources, we can better recruit, train and retain invaluable CRPs so we can provide every child with cancer access to innovative new therapies. This grant supports a clinical research coordinator to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

Pediatric cancer research remains limited by a lack of data sharing. While clinical trials remain the cornerstone of pediatric cancer breakthroughs, a consistent and reliable way to store and share data from these trials is lacking. The University of Chicago Pediatric Cancer Data Commons was established to solve this important problem. Sitting alongside the NCI's Genomic Data Commons, the PCDC serves as a neutral repository for data from clinical trials. This information is first converted into a commons format that is consistent across pediatric cancers. The PCDC allows researchers to search over thousands of patients' data to see quickly what data are available for study. Researchers can then apply for access to data, and the PCDC streamlines the process of requesting and downloading data. Finally, the PCDC connects researchers to other kinds of data, including genomic information so critical to studying pediatric cancer. This grant supports personnel to help build the PCDC, so that researchers can efficiently access data and create new ways to study pediatric cancer.
