## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract: Protocol Review & Monitoring System 
The Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center (FPBCC) has established a process by which proposed 
FPBCC clinical and population science protocols undergo internal peer review for scientific merit and 
prioritization prior to University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Institutional Review Board approval. 
Reviews by the FPBCC Scientific Review Committee (SRC) are to confirm the scientific validity of the 
proposed study, and to assess the feasibility of the study relative to the availability of human subjects and 
current protocols based on enrollments from that same patient and/or subject population. The FPBCC SRC 
review also assures that the data and safety monitoring plan for the proposed clinical trial is appropriate and in 
accordance with regulations, and provides feedback and recommendations to the investigator (if warranted) to 
enhance the scientific merit and/or the logistics of the planned study. The FPBCC SRC is a multidisciplinary 
committee charged with overseeing the scientific aspects of cancer-related research involving human subjects 
conducted by UNMC students and faculty, including FPBCC members. Cancer prevention studies, screening 
trials, behavioral studies, quality of life / survivorship studies, and interventional trials that rely on collection of 
patient-reported outcomes are reviewed by the SRC. The FPBCC SRC has the authority to approve, require 
modifications, or disapprove research activities that fall within its jurisdiction. FPBCC SRC members are 
selected to represent the broad spectrum of oncology research. The FPBCC SRC has broad expertise with 
representation from Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Pediatric Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pathology, 
and Biostatistics. The SRC has broad expertise in hematological malignancies and solid tumors, as well as in 
clinical research focused on supportive care and symptom management. Any Cancer Center member with 
expertise specific to a particular protocol may also be asked to serve as an ad hoc reviewer based on his/her 
unique qualifications when the relevant expertise is not available from SRC members.
