Background

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE) will host a two-day virtual public workshop to bring together all interested parties to discuss ongoing efforts and future directions in registry development in oncology, with a specific focus on the malignant pediatric brain tumor, Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG)/Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Day 1 will introduce relevant concepts regarding registry data and common data elements, including examples of registries which have supported regulatory decision making in oncology. Day 2 will focus on the ongoing efforts to build national and international registries of patients with DMG/DIPG, with forward-looking discussions regarding registry “best practices” for this rare, life-threatening cancer. The goals of this workshop are to provide a first step in a longitudinal effort to optimize registry development in DMG/DIPG, and to encourage the collection of fit-for-use, high-quality registry data that could potentially support novel therapeutic development for patients with DMG/DIPG.  

Meeting Goals

• Review examples of existing registries that have successfully supported drug development in oncology. 
• Discuss foundational concepts for oncology registry development, including common data elements, best practices for data collection and management. 
• Assess the current state of national and international efforts to build patient registries for pediatric DMG/DIPG. 
• Facilitate forward-looking discussions on optimal registry design and implementation strategies, encouraging the development of data collection processes and data quality standards that could support future therapeutic development initiatives. 
• Establish this workshop as the first step in an ongoing, multi-stakeholder effort to optimize DMG/DIPG registry development.
