Introduction

Back to top

Data sharing, which makes possible meta-analysis at the level of the standardized data element, is a potentially powerful tool in breast cancer research. The NCI-supported cooperative groups of North America have recognized that the mining of shared data can be made even more powerful by asking more specific questions regarding therapy and breast cancer subtypes. The Breast Cancer Intergroup of North America (TBCI), the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), and the International Breast Cancer Study Group (IBCSG) have elected to share electronic data files in order to allow for the study of specific questions that could not be addressed within a single trial's data set. Breast Cancer DataMart (BCDM) provides a data-mining capability that should allow more contemporaneous and frequent analyses of pooled breast cancer research data from the contributing cooperative groups in order to keep pace with the relatively frequent and rapid advances now being made in breast cancer research.

What is Breast Cancer DataMart (BCDM)?
Back to FAQs

Breast Cancer DataMart is a central warehouse of breast cancer clinical trial and correlative data pooled from North American and international breast cancer studies, currently housed at the NCI Center for Bioinformatics (NCICB). It allows for data sharing and collaborative data mining from a variety of breast cancer studies, within the limits of a pre-specified set of business rules and serves as an adjunct to the Early Breast Cancer Trialists’ Collaborative Group (EBCTCG) Oxford Overview mechanism.

Is BCDM under the jurisdiction of an IRB?
Back to FAQs

The BCDM has IRB approval from Emory University to serve as a data repository for de-identified breast cancer clinical trial data. All approved proposals will be required to obtain local IRB approval (or waiver) prior to the release of data.

What is the process for submitting a proposal to BCDM?
Back to FAQs

An investigator who wishes to answer a specific set of research questions through data-mining of one or more of the Groups’ studies pooled within BCDM must make a formal request to the BCDM Scientific Review Committee by submitting a proposal using the BCDM Proposal Form (right-click on the link to save form). Proposals should be submitted to the BCDM Steering Committee via email to pio@ctep.nci.nih.gov, with cc to zujewski@nih.gov. The committee accepts only electronic submissions.

What is the review process?
Back to FAQs

The BCDM Scientific Review committee will conduct an internal review of the merit and feasibility of the proposal, including whether or not there are sufficient data to provide adequate information for the analysis, and the availability of the required data. Investigators will be notified of the Committee’s decisions in writing. If approved, release of the data will be contingent on IRB approval or waiver. In addition, a formal data use agreement covering the relevant conditions will be required.

What are the components of the data use agreement?
Back to FAQs

The data use agreement requires that the data be used solely for the purpose approved, be kept confidential, and reports of the research findings submitted to the BCDM project.
