Administrative, Biostatistics, Clinical and Bionutrition Core for Cancer Center Program
Official title: Administrative, biospecimen and biostatistical core
Funded at Beckman Research Institute/city of Hope · NIH-11417312 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A cancer center project core provides leadership, biostatistical and bionutrition support and collects patient data and biospecimens to help three related research projects explore how gut bacteria affect treatment side effects and test new ways to reduce them.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients undergoing cancer treatment at the involved center who provide biospecimens and consent to data collection.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not participating in biospecimen collection or who do not meet study inclusion criteria may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This core supports multiple projects by offering statistical planning, data management, and nutrition expertise, while coordinating meetings and budget oversight. It will collect patient biospecimens and clinical data to fuel analyses across projects. The work aims to lay the groundwork for future clinical interventional studies targeting mucin-degrading gut bacteria to lessen intestinal GVHD in patients undergoing treatment. By integrating administrative leadership with specialized biostatistics and bionutrition input, the core helps ensure robust, ethically conducted research. The focus is on translating laboratory findings into strategies that could reduce treatment-related toxicity for cancer patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the research could lead to better prediction and prevention of gut-related treatment toxicities and new therapeutic approaches for cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: Similar programs have shown that integrated biostatistics and clinical data collection improve trial quality and enable more reliable interventional studies.
