Event Overview: 

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Access, equity, and inclusion when developing and deploying new solutions to combat this disease remain paramount. The impact of cancer on people’s lives and their families is profound.

The White House has reignited the Cancer Moonshot initiative and set a new national goal: “if we work together, we can cut the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years and improve the experience of people and their families living with and surviving cancer. To achieve these goals, we must amplify digital innovation.”

Oracle is excited and honored to participate in the Cancer Moonshot's new CancerX public-private partnership. CancerX's inaugural project focuses on using digital innovation to reduce disparities and financial toxicity in cancer care and research. CancerX uses a three-pronged approach to generate impact in cancer research and care: conducting pre-competitive evidence generation; establishing an accelerator cohort; and leading demonstration projects.

Key Learning Objectives: 
  • Learn about the White House Moonshot and CancerX project approach and progress.
  • Hear about the scope of the inaugural project ‘Advancing Digital Innovation to Improve Equity and Reduce Financial Toxicity in Cancer Care and Research’ and the value it will add to the industry.
  • Impress upon the audience the urgency and opportunity for industry experts to make a difference for cancer patients worldwide.
Who Should Attend: 
  • Clinical researchers, data scientists, and clinical decision teams responsible for:
    • Clinical development planning and study design
    • Management of patients and measurement of clinical outcomes
    • Clinical data management, collecting and evaluating trial metrics
    • Project management of studies, process optimization, and operational excellence
