Q & A

Clinical Trials provide the evidence for determining and improving on the standards of care across urologic oncology. There are many requirements necessary to effectively generate, organize and execute a clinical trial. From producing a clinical question in the form of a hypothesis, to engendering support and funding, navigating the barriers, enhancing the efforts with correlative science and of course successful execution of the protocol itself. In this symposium we explore what makes for a successful clinical trial from the basics of obtaining necessary resources to the challenges an investigator faces when attempting to address an unmet need in the care of urologic oncology patients.
