Current ITCC clinical centres are full members of these New Agent Groups, in order to assure integration and coordination of ITCC activities within the national activity.Related organizations
SIOP Europe. The European academic organisation for paediatric oncology developing clinical research through paediatric tumour committees, along with educational programs. This collaboration is essential in order to further develop drugs beyond phase I and II and to appropriately address and conduct coordinated Paediatric Investigation Plans (PIP) that will cover unmet medical needs. Most of ITCC members are SIOP-Europe members. http://www.siop.nl/
KIKA. ITCC Biology is being financially supported by one of the main Dutch Charity Foundations in the field of Paediatric Oncology, the KIKA foundation ("Children Free of Cancer"). KIKA will most likely also endorse the clinical activities of ITCC in the near future http://www.kika.nl/
CR-UK. ITCC is also establishing a collaboration with CRUK , with whom the UK representatives of ITCC already have a research link through Childhood Cancer and Leukemia Group (CCLG). http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/
European Medicines Evaluation Agency. Members of the ITCC Board participated in the writing of the “Addendum on Paediatric Oncology” (CPMP/EWP/569/02) and of the Note for Guidance on Evaluation of Anticancer Medicinal Products in Man (CPMP/EWP/205/95). Members of the ITCC Board are experts at EMEA: Prof G Vassal in the Scientific Advisory Group on Oncology , Dr B Morland in the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP). http://www.emea.eu.int/
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, ITCC participates in an International Paediatric Oncology Task Force , chaired jointly by the FDA (Prof S Hirschfeld) and the EMEA (Dr A Saint-Raymond), that was set up in late 2003. The aims are to address the barriers to collaboration, establish recommendations for harmonisation of practice, and all issues in relation to the implementation of international studies in paediatric oncology. http://www.fda.gov/
Children’s Oncology Group (COG) http://www.childrensoncologygroup.org/
National Cancer Institute (NCI) http://www.cancer.gov/ In addition, the current coordination with North American Paediatric Oncology Programs will lead to international trials when needed, and will avoid duplication of studies. Regular meetings are being held with the Phase I consortium of the COG and the NCI , in the US.
