About NSGO-CTU

Nordic Society of Gynaecologic Oncology -
Clinical Trial Unit

We are a non-profit organization with the main objective to manage and support clinical research in gynaecologic cancer.

While the organization’s Danish name is, “Nordisk Selskab for Gynækologisk Onkologi’s Kliniske Forskningsfond,” it is commonly referred to as NSGO-CTU and is headquartered at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark.

As a recognized international group and collaborative partner, our daily focus is on developing, initiating, and conducting quality clinical trials within the field of gynaecological oncology to contribute to future advances for patients.

NSGO-CTU is overseen by a Medical Director and two Deputy Medical Directors, who are accountable to the NSGO-CTU Foundation Committee, also known as the NSGO-CTU Foundation Board. The Medical Director is appointed for three-year terms and may be reappointed indefinitely in the best interest of the Foundation and NSGO-CTU.

Dr. Mansoor Raza Mirza has led the clinical trial unit for a decade and is also a Chief Oncologist at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital and Vice-President of ESGO.

Dr. Kristine Madsen (DK) & Prof. Kristina Lindemann (NO) are appointed Deputy Medical Directors to support NSGO-CTU’s Medical Director, Dr. Mirza in managing the Clinical Trial Unit.

NSGO-CTU collectively consists of:

  • The Medical Director, 
  • NSGO-CTU Foundation Committee, 
  • Two Deputy Medical Directors, 
  • The staff of the NSGO-CTU Office, and 
  • The NSGO-CTU Scientific Committee

Mission

NSGO-CTU are strong collaborators among professionals in the field of gynaecological cancer. The Clinical Trial Unit conducts educational meetings for colleagues and industry partners.

We organize the Biannual NSGO-CTU Investigator Meeting in Copenhagen and provide updates on the latest developments in cancer research.

NSGO-CTU is affiliated with ENGOT and maintains partnerships with GOG to advance clinical research in the field of gynaecological oncology. In addition to conducting clinical trials in the Nordic countries, our society aims to provide education and training to future Principal Investigators (PIs) and sub-investigators.

Our activities also involve mentoring other groups & organizations and promoting collaboration and camaraderie among experts and organizations worldwide engaged in the field of gynaecological oncology.

Purpose

Clinical trials are an integral component of medical research that assesses the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of new drugs, medical devices, or treatment modalities. These trials typically involve a complex and multi-faceted process that involves many different stakeholders, including clinicians, researchers, patients, regulatory bodies, and funding agencies. Given the complexity of clinical trials, it is crucial to have effective project management in place to ensure that the research progresses in a timely and efficient manner and that all stakeholders are engaged and informed throughout the process.

As a project management team for clinical trials research, our primary responsibility is to oversee and coordinate all aspects of the research project from start to finish. We work closely with clinical trial investigators to design and develop the trial protocol, define inclusion and exclusion criteria, and identify the appropriate patient population for the study. We also collaborate with regulatory bodies to ensure that the study meets all ethical and regulatory requirements.

One of our critical roles is to oversee the recruitment of patients and ensure that the study is conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. We develop a detailed project plan that outlines the timelines, milestones, and deliverables for the study and ensure that the research team adheres to the plan. We monitor the progress of the study, identify any issues or concerns that arise, and take corrective action as needed to keep the project on track.

Another essential function of our project management team is to facilitate communication and collaboration among all stakeholders. We work closely with study sponsors and funding agencies to ensure that they are updated on the project’s progress and that the study remains aligned with their goals and objectives. We also communicate regularly with the clinical trial investigators and research team to ensure that they are aware of any updates or changes in the study design, protocol, or timelines.

Our responsibility is to ensure that the research project is conducted efficiently, ethically, and in compliance with regulatory guidelines & ensure effective communication and collaboration throughout the project.

The NSGO-CTU Foundation Committee (Board members) is named for a two-year period.

Consent:
When you decide to take part in a NSGO-CTU trial NSGO-CTU either makes a contract with you or
your employer where terms and conditions are described, or if you put your name on the
Delegation Log of a trial, you agree to the information described in this Privacy Policy.
However, it may happen that we judge it necessary to obtain your written consent for other
purposes. In that case you will have the opportunity to voluntarily agree, and you may withdraw it
at any time by notifying us.
Be aware that there are legal bases for certain forms of processing of your data for the abovementioned purposes and that your consent is the only legal basis for other forms of processing.

Dispatch of your personal information:
Depending on your role in a trial, your personal information might be shared with personnel at
other sites, monitors, group staff in other countries, NSGO-CTU office staff, members of NSGO,
CRO staff, Ethics Committees and Competent Authorities, both in Europe, but also in countries
outside the European Economic Area (for example the US). If your data (personal information) has
been transferred, they will be subject to the data protection legislation of the respective country,
also if a less severe data protection law should exist.
We do not disclose information about you to anyone outside the organization without the above
consent, however, it should be noted, that if you e.g. accept an invitation to a meeting, your
personal information might be forwarded to the meeting location or the meeting organizer. Only
personal information relevant for the 3rd party will be disclosed in these circumstances.
Furthermore, your data can be transmitted to public databases for registration, as well as
publication of a trial and your data can be stored and published in those databases.
Storing and deleting your personal information:
For historical reasons and as your details might be saved in old attendance lists, email

about you will be deleted, when you end your participation in a study. In general, all information
about a trial is deleted at least 20 years after end of study.

You may make use of your rights by contacting us, however, the legality of the processing carried out
prior to e.g., a withdrawal will not be affected. If you submit a request to have your personal
information corrected or deleted, we will investigate whether the conditions are met and, in that
case, make changes or deletions as soon as possible and, if applicable, also notify our data
processors to do so.
