Scientific Review Committee (SRC)
The SRC is charged with providing peer review of local and national research protocols involving cancer patients treated at Stanford University Clinical Cancer Center and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Studies at the Stanford University Cancer Center (SCC) are required to undergo scientific review by the SRC. This is a requirement of the National Cancer Institute as part of our cancer center designation. Scientific review applies to all phases of clinical therapeutic intervention, behavioral clinical trials, tissue and body fluid research, and diagnostic trials of cancer patients and cancer-related studies of healthy participants. The primary focus of scientific review is on the scientific merit of the study.
SRC Submission Process
How to Submit an Initial SRC Application:
- (If applicable) All investigator Initiated studies must comply with Stanford Cancer Center’s guidelines and templates prior to either SRC or IRB submissions.
- An IRB application must be submitted to Stanford’s Administrative Panels on Human Subjects.
- Complete the entire Protocol Registration Form and email it to CCTOProtocol@stanford.edu.
- Complete a Protocol Statement of Support (PSOS) form for the appropriate Disease Management Group (DMG).
- All interventional trials must complete a DMG Flowchart for the appropriate DMG.
- Submit PSOS and Flowchart to the SRC per instructions on the forms.
How to Submit a Renewal to the SRC:
- The Protocol Director will be notified by the SRC when a study is up for annual renewal.
- Complete a Renewal Protocol Statement of Support form for the appropriate DMG and submit to the SRC.
How to Submit a Modfication to the SRC:
- Any changes to the protocol’s study design and or accrual numbers must be submitted to the SRC to determine if re-review is appropriate.
- Send a completed IRB modfication application form to SRC-Office@stanford.edu.
- The Protocol Director will be notified by the SRC regarding whether re-review by the SRC is required.
The CCTO Regulatory Manager is available to assist with the SRC application process.
