OVERVIEW

RECIST 1.0 and 1.1: Overview and Data Challenges in Oncology Clinical Trials is organized by Barnett International and will be held on Dec 05, 2018.

The target audience for this medical event is Clinical Research Coordinators, Clinical Research Associates, Clinical Team Managers, Primary Investigators who are interested in participating in oncology clinical trials, but who do not specialize in oncology or radiology. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2 hours (0.2 CEUs) of continuing education credit.

Conference Description:
RECIST stands for Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. The National Cancer Institute is the best resource for information and defines RECIST criteria as “a voluntary, international standard, and not an NCI standard. They are based on a simplification of former methods (WHO, ECOG) and based on measurable disease, i.e., the presence of at least one measurable lesion.” RECIST criteria provide a way to standardize measurement of solid tumours worldwide for any clinical trials that include this data to define study endpoints.

RECIST defines and standardizes how and when subjects are seen to progress, respond or remain stable in terms of their metastatic disease burden during a course of therapy. When these criteria are not well understood at the site level or consistently followed during a trial, it can put the study endpoint data in jeopardy.

Conference Objectives:
• Differentiate between RECIST 1.0 and 1.1
• Describe the components of RECIST/tumor data
• Apply how to correctly calculate disease response
• Identify and predict common trends with tumor data
• Use working knowledge of common trends to help develop Case Report Forms for oncology trials

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
