The newest of CRDC’s Data Commons, the Clinical and Translational Data Commons (CTDC), was publicly launched in September. The CTDC was developed to house a wide array of clinical and translational data from NCI-funded clinical trials, correlative studies, and interventional studies. Users can explore and select data of interest through the CTDC’s interactive dashboard, which provides summaries of participant demographics, diagnoses, disease stages, targeted therapies, and more. 

Researchers can seamlessly migrate data from the CTDC to the Seven Bridges Cancer Genomics Cloud (SB-CGC), part of NCI’s secure cloud environment, which offers a comprehensive suite of computational tools for analyzing large-scale data.  

The CTDC’s inaugural dataset comes from the Cancer Moonshot Biobank^SM (CMB), which collects longitudinal clinical data and biospecimens shared by participants throughout their standard-of-care treatments at participating US medical institutions. Additional datasets will be added as they become available. 

Researchers interested in submitting data to the CTDC can begin the process with a Submission Request application available through the CRDC Submission Portal. Information about the data submission process is available on the CRDC website.    

Learn more about the CTDC through a recorded webinar organized by CBIIT’s Data Science Seminar Series and through a CBIIT news feature.
