Ethical Considerations for the Inclusion of Patient-Reported Outcomes in Clinical Research: The PRO Ethics Guidelines.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2022-05-17)
IMPORTANCE: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can inform health care decisions, regulatory decisions, and health care policy. They also can be used for audit/benchmarking and monitoring symptoms to provide timely care ...
A Road Map for Designing Phase I Clinical Trials of Radiotherapy-Novel Agent Combinations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-09-02)
Radiotherapy has proven efficacy in a wide range of cancers. There is growing interest in evaluating radiotherapy-novel agent combinations and a drive to initiate this earlier in the clinical development of the novel agent, ...
Oligoprogression in Metastatic, Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer-Prevalence and Current Clinical Practice.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-05-17)
