SNO CLINICAL TRIALS COURSE
November 17-18, 2020
SNO Clinical Trials Course
The Society for Neuro-Oncology is pleased to host a 2-day Virtual Clinical Trials Course, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 17 – 18, 2020 from 9am - 1pm (US Central Time) both days. After the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the first course in 2019, the planning committee has expanded the course both to the number of participants as well as the content. A series of didactic lectures will be presented by pre-eminent faculty with specific areas of expertise with respect to clinical trial design and conduct and will be open to all interested colleagues. These presentations will also be recorded and available for viewing at the conclusion of the course on the SNO website. Click here to view the preliminary program.

Scholars Forum
In addition to the didactic portion of the course, a cohort of 36 scholars has been selected from applications received, who will provide a more detailed protocol synopsis that will be shared with faculty mentors and statisticians. This group will have the opportunity to receive feedback both before the actual course and at two small group closed sessions for in-depth discussion with the mentors. These small group sessions will be held after the didactic portion on each day of the conference, from 1:30pm - 3:30pm.
Educational Goals
Upon completion of this course, participants will have an improved understanding of the practical aspects of therapeutic CNS trials, including: understanding the fundamentals of good trial design; understanding the scientific, statistical, regulatory, logistical and ethical aspects of CNS trials; integrating correlative studies in CNS trials; mitigating challenges to accrual and overcoming accrual barriers; and anticipating the future direction of CNS trials.
