Quick-Trials for Novel Cancer Therapies: Exploratory Grants (R21): Continuing progress in basic cancer research and drug development has led to discoveries of new agents or approaches for molecular targeting in novel cancer therapies. These new agents or approaches suppress tumor growth through multiple mechanisms, such as: cell cycle control; activation of tumor suppressor genes; essential signal pathway blockage; tumor vaccines; tumor microenvironment modification; etc. Rapid translation of these exciting discoveries into clinical practice requires timely support to accommodate the special needs of novel cancer therapy development. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to provide investigators with rapid access to support for pilot, Phase I, and Phase II cancer clinical trials as well as support for patient monitoring and laboratory studies linked to a cancer clinical trial. Phase III trials are not excluded, but such trials generally require greater resources and duration than available from an R21 grant award. Applications that do not propose a cancer clinical trial or patient monitoring or laboratory studies linked to a cancer clinical trial may be returned to applicants without being reviewed.
