Global Coalition for Adaptive Research (GCAR), an expert in developing and operationalizing adaptive platform trials and master protocols, is working with CCF on a cutting-edge, long-term platform designed to revolutionize the development and evaluation of multiple therapies simultaneously. By comparing therapies against a common control (the standard of care), this approach offers a more streamlined and effective pathway to discovering life-saving treatments for cholangiocarcinoma.

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation partner logo: Komodo Health intelligence platform for CCA specialist mapping.

Partnering with Komodo Health has assisted CCA patients to access specialists around the country by leveraging their unique intelligence platform, which combines de-identified data from over 500 sources capturing more than 320 million Americans’ healthcare journey. With this data, we are able to connect patients with the best care possible through the CCA specialist map. Komodo Health makes it possible for patients to find the nearest specialist with the most expertise in treating CCA with the click of a button.

If you are interested in requesting a Patient Advisory Board for input on clinical trials, educational materials or other related topics, please contact Melinda Bachini for more information.

The upcoming Annual Conference is a unique opportunity for patients and caregivers to sit side-by-side with experts in the field and provide their voices in helping focus research priorities. This year’s Conference is an effort between CCF’s International Cholangiocarcinoma Research Network (ICRN) and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST)-Action: Precision-BTC-Network, part of the European Network for the Study of Cholangiocarcinoma (ENS-CCA).

The initiative brings together patients, caregivers, advocates, oncologists, researchers, industry, young investigators, regulators, and other specialists worldwide to review scientific evidence, share insights, and reach a consensus, or full agreement, on the research focus going forward to optimize existing funding and attract new funding. Your voice matters, and we want your participation. In addition to the same excellent community interaction offered at the Conference, patients and caregivers can participate in breakout sessions will be provided even more opportunities to interact with experts in the field.
