Assay Validation For High Quality Markers For NCI-Supported Clinical Trials (UH3)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to improve the development and validation of molecular diagnostics for the treatment, control, or prevention of cancer. This FOA includes, but is not limited to, the validation of prognostic, predictive or response markers for treatment and markers for cancer control or prevention trials. Applicants to this FOA must have an assay whose performance has been analytically validated within specimens similar to those for the intended clinical use of the assay and marker. The UH3 mechanism supports the clinical validation of established assays for up to three years using specimens from retrospective or prospective studies from NCI-supported or other clinical trials. Assays proposed for this FOA may be used to validate existing assays for use in other trials, observational studies or populations. Projects proposed for this FOA will require multi-disciplinary interaction and collaboration among scientific investigators, clinicians, statisticians and clinical laboratory scientists and staff. Clinical laboratory staff, technical and other needs must be an integral part of the application. This FOA is not intended to support trials that assess the clinical utility of a marker/assay but is intended to develop assays to the point where their clinical utility could be assessed in other trials.
