Field 5 – Accelerated Translation into Personalised Oncology Clinical Practice
The goal of this field is to provide expert advice to help patients benefit from cancer research results, whether it is related to a single complex patient case or new discoveries, sometimes even before the completion of an extensive and thorough clinical trial. Molecular Tumor Boards (MTBs) are a key element in this field; a distributed network of experts is being created from pre-existing MTBs in order to facilitate the translation of research into practice.

| 6.4* | AT,FR,IT,NL | Cancer Path Builder, a service to help users navigate the canSERV catalogue and elaborate complex projects involving multiple services. | The Cancer Path Builder (CPB) service is dedicated to tailoring research workflows across the canSERV service catalogue for a specific finding or a patient case. It allows cancer researchers to access expert advice from the various Research Infrastructures (RIs) and canSERV service providers. The user provides a complex project, requesting access to various canSERV services. After a first analysis of the user project, the Cancer Path Builder relies on experts in translational, preclinical, and clinical oncology from the various RIs and canSERV partners in order to provide advice on the user’s project to create a comprehensive and feasible research workflow leading to clinical applications. For example, Cancer Path Builder could be used for establishing the potential clinical relevance of a variant of unknown significance found in a given patient not only through database consultation and in silico analyses, but also through an experimental workflow including models, assays, advanced profiles, and more. | BBMRI-ERIC, EATRIS, ECRIN, UNITO, WU | BBMRI ECRIN EATRIS Curie UNITO WUR MMMI, NKI | 1 advice |
