Increased numbers of novel therapeutic agents and the progressively greater complexity of early-phase clinical trials have led to a need for more physicians with special skills in drug development. The ADTTP provides medical oncologists advanced training in state-of-the-science principles and technologies of developmental therapeutics, by utilizing the unique resources available within NCI.

Refine skills in clinical investigation, including novel strategies for trial design and methodology, protocol development, execution, monitoring, conformity with ethical standards, and formulation of attainable and pertinent laboratory correlates
Spend 40 to 60 percent of time in clinical investigations involving inpatients and outpatients at the NIH Clinical Center, including a minimum of 2 days in DTC clinic activities.
Opportunity to spend time in DCTD’s Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP). The CTEP component of the training will broaden the trainee’s knowledge of new drug development by providing a unique opportunity to learn the principles and concepts of agent prioritization, drug development strategies, protocol development and review, investigational new drug (IND) application requirements, and adverse event assessment and reporting.

Salary will be commensurate with training and experience.
