Overview

Clinical Research Coordinator - Clinical Research Network Office HDF Comprehensive Cancer Center Full Time 86579BR Job Summary

The Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC) Clinical Research Network Office is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to support the I-SPY Program at UCSF Cancer Center Berkeley. UCSF is the lead site for the I-SPY Program; the program involves novel trial designs in the setting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to accelerate the drug development process. Our goal is to introduce and rapidly test novel targeted strategies for women at high risk for recurrence, at the time of primary cancer diagnosis, rather than waiting until they develop metastatic disease. Neoadjuvant therapy allows visualization of tumor response to treatment, and thus is the ideal platform to identify mechanisms of resistance, develop diagnostic markers, and individualize therapy. I-SPY 2 is a phase 2 adaptive randomization trial process that will test up to 12 new drugs in approximately 800 patients over 5 years. I-SPY 2 is a unique public/private partnership between QuantumLeap Healthcare Collaborative and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), patient advocates and over 40 major cancer research centers across the United States and Canada. The CRC will perform independently or with general direction at the fully operational journey level of the series to execute, manage, and coordinate research protocols, as directed by the Principal Investigator, Program Director, and Clinical Research Manager (CRM). The CRC will serve as the Berkeley site coordinator for the I-SPY 2 trial, which includes up to eight treatment regimens, two correlative science trials, a registry trial, and a quality of life study.
