Limited Competition: Adult Brain Tumor Clinical Trials Consortium (U01): -The purpose of this Limited Competition Request for Applications (RFA) is to continue the program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the development of new anticancer therapies for adult patients with primary central nervous system cancers. During the current funding period of this program, the NCI-funded two separate consortia: New Approaches to Brain Tumor Therapy (NABTT); and North American Brain Tumor Consortium (NABTC). This limited competition RFA solicits a single joint application from both NABTT and NABTC to continue their activities as a single entity. The consolidated Adult Brain Tumor Consortium will be responsible for timely conduct of Phase 1 and 2 studies that are essential to NCI s overall clinical research program for adults with brain tumors. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Support from NINDS will be used to incorporate selected imaging studies into the Consortium s activities. -The specific objectives for the Consortium will be: (a) to safely and efficiently introduce novel anticancer agents to complement other modalities (radiotherapy and surgery) in the conduct of Phase 1-2 trials for adult brain tumors; (b) to proactively foster collaborations with other NCI- and NIH-funded researchers in the field, especially those involved with NCI-funded brain tumor SPOREs (Specialized Programs of Research Excellence) and NCI-funded Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups; and (c) to incorporate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic endpoints (including imaging and translational laboratory studies) as appropriate into Phase 1-2 studies to facilitate the future development of new treatment approaches. -The Consortium will be expected to introduce six to seven new therapeutic agents or combinations of agents into trials for adult brain tumors per year and to perform two to three Phase 2 studies per year of treatment regimens that have the potential to move into definitive Phase 3 trials.
