Biostatistics and Data Management Section
The Biostatistics and Data Management Section (BDMS) provides statistical leadership and data management consultation for CCR's clinical activities and is involved in the design, review, conduct, monitoring and statistical analyses of NCI intramural, and occasionally multi-center clinical trials of experimental treatments for cancer, AIDS and AIDS-related malignancies.
Data Analysis and Consultation
In addition to collaboration on clinical trials, the BDMS provides a broad range of data analysis and consultation services to CCR laboratories performing basic research into the origin and growth mechanisms of cancer and HIV/AIDS.
- Other major collaborative efforts include clinical studies to identify important prognostic and treatment selection factors, evaluate diagnostic procedures, develop improved staging systems and assist investigators in the design, execution and analysis of major pharmacokinetic and in vitro drug testing studies.
- The section develops and implements novel statistical study designs and biometric methods related to the development and evaluation of new cancer and HIV/AIDS-related malignancy treatments. Senior members of the BDMS hold secondary appointments in the Biometric Research Branch of the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, NCI.
- The section maintains computerized data collection systems for intramural and national multicenter clinical protocols and works closely with interested branches to improve data recording and retrieval.
- The section maintains a unified system for tracking basic information on all patients registered on CCR protocols.
