Glo-BNHL international clinical site monitoring

Tender description

Glo-BNHL is an international multi-arm clinical trial developed in collaboration with a number of key childhood cancer research organisations, including Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer (ITCC) and the European Intergroup for Childhood NHL (EICNHL) in Europe, and the Children's Oncology Group (COG) in North America. The trial will be delivered globally with support from these organisations and in partnership with the C17 Council in Canada and the Australia and New Zealand Children's Haematology and Oncology Group (ANZCHOG). The trial is jointly funded by Cancer Research UK, Fight Kids Cancer and industry collaborators (currently ADC Therapeutics and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals). The funding provided is contingent upon the use of vendors with a track record of delivering clinical trials of this kind.
