The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP) is an independent non-profit organization, dedicated to including the voice of patients and care partners in the clinical research process. They regularly engage with affected individuals and families to include the community voice in research endeavors.
CISCRP, together with a pharmaceutical company, is planning to conduct a virtual focus group in late February/early March among individuals diagnosed with gastric (stomach) cancer and their care partners. The goal of the focus group is to learn from patients how to ensure treatments for gastric cancer best meet the unique needs of individuals with this condition and their families.
The virtual focus group will provide an opportunity for those affected by gastric cancer to share their experiences living with/caring for this condition, experiences with treatment and views on what they would like an ideal treatment to address, what outcomes would be most meaningful, as well as share thoughts on clinical research and clinical trials for this condition.
