Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines Program

Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines Oversight Committee

The Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines Oversight Committee oversees the development of new clinical practice guidelines and updates for existing guidelines that provide guidance on the appropriate treatment algorithms and recommended administration of FDA-approved cancer immunotherapies as well as mitigating and managing adverse events.

The committee determines the policies and protocols for the general guideline development process as well as the standards the expert panels must meet to ensure the recommendations are unbiased, relevant, and facilitate clinical decision-making leading to optimal patient care.

The committee also provides strategic insights into the existing dissemination efforts such as guideline education and mobile app development as well as envisions and informs new dissemination tactics.

About the Guidelines

The SITC Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines program is a collection of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) developed by multi-disciplinary panels of experts who draw from their own practical experience as well as evidence in the published literature and clinical trial data to develop evidence- and consensus-based recommendations on when and how to use immunotherapy to help improve outcomes for patients with cancer.

These CPGs offer a vital resource for the practicing oncology community. SITC uses as a model the Institute of Medicine's 2011 "Standards for Developing Trustworthy Clinical Practice Guidelines" to ensure a fair, transparent and balanced process for creating the CPGs. Each CPG expert panel is comprised of a comprehensive mix of academic physicians and researchers, nurses, patients, and patient advocates invited from institutions across the United States.

The guidelines are reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for newly available clinical trial data and FDA approvals.
