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.

This grant is named for the Do It for Dominic Fund which honors the memory of Dominic Cairo who battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma and was a hero to his school and community.

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.

The grant is named in honor of the Do It for Dominic Fund. This Hero Fund was created in memory of Dominic Cairo, who died from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at the age of 8. His family and friends continue to focus their efforts on raising funds and supporting St. Baldrick’s in the effort find cures for childhood cancers in the hopes that no child ever has to go through what Dominic had to endure.

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.

Funding from the St. Baldrick's Foundation has taken two very small programs at UIC and Rush Medical Centers, merged them and brought Stroger Medical Center into the fold to forge a single entity for purposes of participation in Children's Oncology Group clinical trials. This support of necessary personnel has significantly increased clinical trial participation for patients who otherwise might not have access to them.
