Enabling Precision Cancer Clinical Trials: A molecular profiling platform for the Australian clinical trials industry
To facilitate genomics testing and patient matching for clinical trials and focussed therapies the Garvan will engage at least 5 companies and have 250 tests conducted on a purpose built SME engagement platform.
This project will deliver a molecular profiling platform to increase capacity in Australia’s clinical trial sector, and increase the attractiveness of Australia to the international pharmaceutical industry. The platform includes a clinically-accredited molecular test for cancer trials, a genomics data platform to support clinical trials, and patient-matching capabilities to facilitate clinical trial recruitment.
Outcomes (FY2020):
- To date the project has trained over 400 individuals.
- The project team has processed over 1,250 samples and engaged with six Australian-based SMEs including 4 clinical trials.
