Childhood Cancer Academic-Industry Collaborative Platform Trials (C3PT): Toolkit Launch Webinar

Tuesday, September 22, 2026, 10:00 to 11:00 AM ET/3:00-4:00 pm GMT/4:00-5:00 pm CET

This webinar will explore key challenges, opportunities, and best practices for successful partnerships between academia and the pharmaceutical industry to design and deliver platform trials for children and adolescents with cancer.

The MRCT Center, in partnership with ITCC (Innovative Therapies for Children and Adolescents with Cancer), Blood Cancer United, and the Children's Oncology Group, will release a framework for those planning and delivering platform trials for pediatric oncology, including a position narrative and the Childhood Cancer Academic-Industry Collaborative Platform Trials (C3PT) Toolkit, a range of tools to help users put the framework into practice.

The C3PT toolkit builds on the outputs of the “Advancing Pediatric Platform Trials: Streamlining Development, Maximizing Impact” workshop and a follow-up Pediatric Oncology Workshop in July 2025, both multi-organizational, collaborative efforts.

The webinar will include opening remarks to set the scene, a moderated multi-stakeholder discussion, and time for audience Q&A.
