## Abstract

CORE-017: CLINICAL PROTOCOL AND DATA MANAGEMENT (CPDM) 
PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT 
The Clinical Protocol and Data Management (CPDM) function of the OSUCCC provides comprehensive 
resources for the conduct of cancer clinical research with an emphasis on the inclusion of women, minorities, 
children and other underserved populations. The CPDM is overseen by Dr. William Carson, the Associate 
Director for Clinical Research (ADCR). The cancer center's Clinical Trials Office (CTO), supports the 
centralized administration of protocol development, implementation and conduct for all clinically active cancer 
research groups. No clinical cancer research may be conducted outside the CTO. Thus, the CTO oversees all 
cancer clinical trials and is the centralized organization for the conduct of such research. This team provides 
the trial administration, protocol tracking and monitoring, data management, regulatory processing and 
financial supervision necessary for the successful conduct of clinical trials in a methodologically-sound, 
expedient, and cost-effective manner. The CTO Medical Director is Steven Devine, MD and the CTO Medical 
Co-Director is Dr. Bhuvana Ramaswamy, MD. The CTO interim Administrative Director is Nancy Single, PhD. 
The OSUCCC Data and Safety Monitoring Plan outlines the structure and responsibilities of the Data and 
Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) which oversees and reviews the safe conduct of clinical research at this 
cancer center. The DSMC is headed by William Blum, MD. The inclusion of women, minorities and children in 
cancer clinical research is an important goal of this organization and effort in this area are coordinated by the 
Center for Cancer Health Equity under the leadership of Electra Paskett, PhD, OSUCCC Associate Director for 
Population Sciences.
