The Gastrointestinal Steering Committee (GISC) addresses the design, prioritization, and evaluation of concepts for phase 2, 2/3, and 3 clinical trials in adult gastrointestinal cancers. Committee activities help foster collaboration between groups and institutions engaged in conducting trials. The GISC's membership comprises NCTN group representatives, community oncologists, Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) representatives, biostatisticians, patient advocates, subject matter experts, and NCI staff.
