Disease Site Groups (DSG)

Group of doctor having a meeting

The UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive 癌症中心 operates a series of multi-disciplinary Disease Site Groups (DSGs) responsible for 初步审查 of all interventional cancer clinical research protocols at UCLA. Each DSG is responsible for first stage scientific review, feasibility assessment and 之前itization of new interventional clinical protocols as they relate to the patient populations and research focus of each Disease Site Group. The DSG considers relevant clinical programs, 规划的目标, 专业知识, and research interests in assessing both concepts and protocols. 

The fifteen (15) Disease Site Groups at UCLA review the breadth of cancer-related disease areas, and include unique/specialized groups such as the 支持性护理 DSG and Early Phase 临床研究 DSG. A full list of all Disease Site Groups is located below.

Formal DSG review and approval is required 之前 to Internal Scientific Peer Review Committee (ISPRC) 提交的 初步审查 of interventional clinical studies.

All studies reviewed by a Disease Site Group will be subject to:

  • First stage review: approves trials to proceed to ISPRC review
  • Prioritizes trials for respective histologies and areas, and evaluate feasibility
  • Identifying competing protocols
  • Setting and justifying the accrual goals for each protocol

Submitting your protocol for review by a DSG

  1. Secure the protocol. If a CDA is required to receive the protocol, contact the appropriate UCLA contract office to execute that agreement (Clinical Trial Contracts, 隔离, OCGA).
  2. 提交 DSG Review Intake and Scoring Form 一个新的协议.
  3. Once submitted, the new protocol will be placed on the agenda for the next DSG meeting. The PI and regulatory support named in the intake form will receive an email with potential review dates and DSG meeting login information. All meetings currently facilitated via Zoom.
