## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
Overall Component
The SWOG Statistics and Data Management Center (SDMC) provides leadership in the statistical design, data
management, analysis, and reporting of NCTN clinical trials. It contributes to SWOG's overall mission to
significantly improve lives through cancer clinical trials and translational research.
The goals of the SDMC are to (a) rapidly design, develop, and implement rigorous and efficient multi-center
clinical trials; (b) enhance systems for best monitoring of ongoing trials and ensure reproducibility of research
using cross-study standardized software and systems for statistical analysis and clinical trials reporting; (c)
develop innovative statistical design and software tools for incorporating integral and integrated biomarkers into
clinical trials; (d) collaborate with other researchers on statistical methods research, including clinical trial design
and the analysis of translational medicine studies, with a focus on precision medicine and challenges in the
evaluation of immunotherapy; (e) investigate new strategies for enhancing NCTN data by constructing linkages
to external databases and building a comprehensive repository of SWOG clinical and translational medicine
data; and (f) advance the science of the NCTN program and the National Cancer Institute research agenda, in
partnership with other NCTN investigators, by providing scientific leadership through participation in activities
such as steering committees, working groups, task forces, data sharing, and clinical science meetings.
The SWOG SDMC contributes to the goals of SWOG and partners with the NCTN to conduct trials within the
current portfolio, while also providing data, strategies, and useful new statistical tools to other clinical trials
organizations and oncology researchers.
