Cancer Research And Biostatistics (Crab)

Cancer Research And Biostatistics (CRAB)® is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help conquer cancer, and other diseases. Since 1997, CRAB has supported over 300 clinical trials in partnership with foundations, universities, pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Past project experience has ranged from phase I to phase III, registration, staging, and prevention trials. CRAB provides a constellation of services that can help with concept creation, trial conduct, and regulatory submission or publication. Dr. Antje Hoering serves as President and CEO. Dr. John Crowley, co-founder with Dr. Cay Crowley, is Chairman of the Board of Directors. CRAB believes that collaboration accelerates outcomes. CRAB has long-standing partnerships with several cancer research organizations, including the SWOG Cancer Research Network, The Hope Foundation for Cancer Research, and SWOG Clinical Trials Partnerships. SWOG is one of five National Cancer Institute (NCI) supported members of the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) and the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). CRAB and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center make up the SWOG Statistics and Data Management Center (SDMC). CRAB is also an integral collaborator with the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) since the late 1990s, publishing analysis for over 200,000 lung cancer cases in the 7th and 8th editions of the Staging Manuals. CRAB currently serves as the Independent Analysis Center for Friends of Cancer Research’s ctDNA for Monitoring Treatment Response (ctMoniTR) Project. In this project, CRAB receives data from the pharmaceutical and diagnostic partners, coordinates input from collaborators, harmonizes and pools data, and analyzes the pooled data to meet the project’s objectives.
