Community and Patient Outlook

OCE’s outreach and engagement activities in 2022 were extensive and included meetings between patient advocacy groups and FDA clinical reviewers on the topics of rare cancers, colorectal and anal cancers, and breast cancer. 

Project Community participated in multiple, national roundtables, meetings, and panels. Several of the most prominent include the following events:

  • FDA Oncology Center of Excellence Patient Engagement Initiatives: An Interactive Roundtable Discussion, April 12 session at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting.
  • What You Should Know About Clinical Research, Chicago Peer Plus, Feb 24, Community Forum Meetings, January 18 and April 18.
  • San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium Session: Big Data and Health Equity, December 6.
  • New OCE web page: Cancer Community Resources to provide fact sheets, videos, and links to additional information for patients, families, and community organizations. 

Conversations on Cancer

One of Project Community’s most visible initiatives during 2022 was its Conversations on Cancer panel discussion series. Conversations on Cancer is a dynamic, OCE public panel discussion series examining cancer-related social issues with inclusive and diverse panel members from the U.S. and within the FDA. Each discussion is recorded on YouTube and free for public viewing.

Topics included: Oncofertility, Clinical Trials Site Selection, Ovarian Cancer, Cancer Treatment Tolerability, and Building Trust in Clinical Trials.
