CCTO Website Updates

-

Please disregard last week’s announcement – Stanford Medicine’s websites will retain their SUnet protection and the contact pages have reverted to AEM: https://med.stanford.edu/ccto/about/contacts.html

Additionally, the Clinical Research Staff contact page has been reconfigured to be easier to find staff names. You can use the right hand anchor link menu to jump to the appropriate CRG.

Thanks for your patience as we navigate these site changes. Any future changes to the website will be communicated in the blog.

CCTO Website Updates

-

Stanford Medicine will be removing SUnet protection from its webpages. As a result, the CCTO website will no longer be SUnet protected, and its webpages will be accessible to all. Certain pages (our staff contact listings) have therefore moved to MedWiki to maintain staff privacy.

Please note: All CCTO documents (Word docs, Excel files, PDFs, Powerpoints) have been reviewed, and will remain SUnet protected on our website if deemed to be confidential. You will need to be logged into your SUnet to download these protected files.

Additionally, Coordinator Corner has been slightly reorganized. Case Report Form (CRF) documents are now part of the “Forms” tab: https://med.stanford.edu/ccto/staff-resources/coordinator-corner.html#crfs_forms

SRC Protocol Statement of Support (PSOS) Forms Available July 1, 2020

-

SRC PSOS forms (initial and renewal) have been streamlined and updated and will be available to download July 1st, 2020.  These updated forms should be used for any studies reviewed from this date onwards.

SRC website:

https://med.stanford.edu/cancer/research/trial-support/src/research-groups.html

Please note there is now only one PSOS form that can be used across all CRGS: We have removed the CRG member list, instead CRG attendee names can now be added to the form.

CRG participants that need to be present for the study review remains the same:

  • Initial PSOS: At least 3 CRG members other than the PI
  • Renewal PSOS: At least 2 CRG members other than PI

The following are the major changes that were made to the SRC PSOS forms:

  • Only 1 PSOS form (initial and renewal) can now be used by all CRGS
  • CRG specific forms have been removed.
  • CRG Attestation: CRG leader/designee signing the PSOS form, will need to provide a rationale related to the importance of the study in the CRG`s study portfolio
  • Initial PSOS has the following updates:
  • Added a question related to the inclusion of underrepresented population
  • Staff resources section updated to include OPAL Score
