The impact of the lung EDRN-CVC on Phase 1, 2, & 3 biomarker validation studies.

ABSTRACT: The Early Detection Research Network's (EDRN) purpose is to discover, develop and validate biomarkers and imaging methods to detect early-stage cancers or at-risk individuals. The EDRN is composed of sites that fall into four categories: Biomarker Developmental Laboratories (BDL), Biomarker Reference Laboratories (BRL), Clinical Validation Centers (CVC) and Data Management and Coordinating Centers. Each component has a crucial role to play within the mission of the EDRN. The primary role of the CVCs is to support biomarker developers through validation trials on promising biomarkers discovered by both EDRN and non-EDRN investigators. The second round of funding for the EDRN Lung CVC at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) was funded in October 2016 and we intended to accomplish the
