6th European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life in Cancer Clinical Trials Conference

6th European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life in Cancer Clinical Trials Conference is organized by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and will be held from May 12 - 13, 2025 at Hilton Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Description:
This two-day conference will provide participants with the opportunity to learn from over 35 key opinion leaders on the recent developments in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in cancer clinical research.

The sessions will cover a wide variety of topics that centre on HRQOL and PROs: development of fit-for-purpose measures, design of cancer clinical trials (including early phase trials), use in regulatory and HTA decision-making, and incorporation in daily clinical practice. Special issues relating to different cancer populations such as children, adolescents and young adults, older adults, and rare cancers will also be covered.

Invited speakers will represent different expertise and stakeholder groups, including representatives from international regulatory and health technology assessment bodies, clinicians, patient representatives, statisticians, and methodologists. They will highlight recent advancements in the conceptualization and implementation of PROs in oncology within Europe and beyond.

With this conference, we will showcase and further foster collaborations that bring people together, so that barriers to implementation of PROs can be minimized. To increase outreach to students and emerging economies, we will provide travel awards to facilitate their attendance with the goal of forging a new generation of researchers globally.

Reasons to Participate:

• Network with international experts in oncology and QOL research
• Enhance skills in implementing patient-centered research
• Access cutting-edge findings to improve clinical trial designs
