CALL FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS

The Rising Tide Foundation for Clinical Cancer Research (RTFCCR), a Swiss-based non-profit organization, and the Anticancer Fund, a Belgian non-profit organization with an international scope, have joined forces for this unique opportunity to support high-quality clinical trials focusing on drug repurposing and therapy optimization, with special interest in the following areas

Rare cancers (<6/100,000)
‘Financial orphan’ drugs (commercially neglected drugs)
Off patent drugs
Prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers

We call upon all investigators to submit proposals, where funding is required to initiate a new arm of an existing multi-arm trial.

REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION PROCESS
