A Global Community Advisory Board (GCAB) to enhance clinical research studies in the AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC)

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: BACKGROUNDThe AMC mission is to investigate new treatment and prevention interventions for malignancies in people living with HIV and to study the pathobiology of these tumors in the context of clinical trials.An AMC Global CAB (GCAB) aims to engage affected communities in cancer research and advise AMC leadership on the cancer clinical research needs of these communities.Community input has proven invaluable as the AMC further extends their research efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Latin America (LATAM) with the creation of a GCAB.Our goal is to provide a forum for Community Representatives (CReps) from the USA, SSA, and LATAM to address community-related issues that could impact uptake of AMC protocols in their local communities and facilitate or hinder clinical trial enrollment.
