Case Study: Markey Cancer Center achieves NCI designation with Advarra's OnCore

Markey Cancer Center Earns NCI Designation with Help of OnCore

Markey Cancer Center faced a rigorous National Cancer Institute (NCI) review that required comprehensive reporting and centralized management of its clinical trials. To prepare, the Markey Cancer Center had implemented Advarra’s OnCore Enterprise Research System to centrally manage its portfolio and produce the detailed data required for the designation process.

Advarra’s OnCore gave Markey a single source of truth for trial data, enabling quick generation of required tables (including Summary 4) and streamlining the onsite review—earning the center a perceived “stamp of approval.” As a result, the Markey Cancer Center was named the 68th NCI-designated cancer center in 2013, unlocking opportunities such as up to $1.5 million annually in additional funding and broader access to clinical trials and talent.
