Our Preferred Partnership Program Takes The Long View
We build strategic alliances with companies focused on drug pipeline development or complex multi-arm platform trials.
Preferred Partners work closely with SWOG research committees under joint scientific and governance structures to propose, select, design, and deploy clinical trial platforms. Preferred Partners are jointly involved in all critical decisions about study conduct, analysis, and reporting.
You'll be supported by a dedicated CTP infrastructure for rapid study design and protocol development.
CTP Offers Preferred Partners Benefits
Expertise:
- Preferred Partners work with SWOG’s brain trust of disease, translational medicine, and treatment modality leaders and its world-class statistics and data management and operations centers.

- Preferred Partners can draw on SWOG’s extensive experience with FDA registration studies, master protocols, and trials that use advanced imaging and banked biospecimens.
Efficiency:
- With dedicated CTP infrastructure completely outside the NCI framework, PPP develops and launches trials within industry-standard timelines.
