The SWOG Cancer Research Network has partnered with cloud clinical research software company nCoup to pilot and deploy the company’s nCartes platform at SWOG sites to help advance data collection. 

In late-phase pilot testing, the results of data entry using the nCartes platform were compared to the current practice of manual data entry, showing significant time savings and improvements in data quality. 

The results were presented at the Society for Clinical Trials 43rd annual meeting.

With nCartes, research sites pull data available in the electronic medical record, such as labs and medications, and automatically transfer the data directly into the research sponsor’s electronic data capture system.

To measure data entry time using the nCartes platform, a study coordinator was timed entering 43 forms. It took 100 minutes to complete all forms, or 2 minutes and 20 seconds per form—a sizable time savings compared to current standard practice. Data quality also improved.

Data from the phase III ASCENT-03 study demonstrated a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival for Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) compared to chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. 
Keytruda (pembrolizumab) plus Padcev (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) reduced the risk of event-free survival events by 60% and reduced the risk of death by 50% when given before and after surgery (radical cystectomy) versus surgery alone, the current standard of care, in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are not eligible for or declined cisplatin-based chemotherapy, according to phase III KEYNOTE-905/EV-303 trial data. 
Two years of adjuvant Verzenio (abemaciclib) plus endocrine therapy reduced the risk of death by 15.8% versus ET alone and resulted in sustained long-term improvements in invasive disease-free survival and distant relapse-free survival, in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer, according to the primary overall survival analysis of the phase III monarchE trial.
