The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) is dedicated to advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer through education and clinical research. The integrity of scientific and educational programs conducted by ASCO is dependent on the management of potential conflicts of interest. Moreover, as a continuing medical education provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), ASCO strives for balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all of its educational activities through appropriate disclosure of financial interests, among other things. The ASCO conflicts policy is intended to help guide the management of potential conflicts, primarily through disclosure of all financial or other interests that might be construed as resulting in actual, potential, or apparent conflicts. ASCO’s conflicts policy has been in existence since 1994 and was updated by the ASCO Board of Directors in July 1996, November 2002, and March 2005.
Although the ASCO conflicts policy relies primarily on disclosure of financial and other interests, it also recognizes that some financial relationships are inconsistent with responsible clinical research practices and should not occur. ASCO’s conflicts policy does not create a presumption of impropriety in the existence of financial interests or other relationships of a commercial nature. Instead, it recognizes the many factors that can influence judgments about clinical research data and represents a desire to make as much information as possible available to those reviewing the data before presentation or publication.
ASCO conducts a number of activities connected to clinical research, whether directly or indirectly, including scientific and educational programs at the ASCO Annual Meeting and other meetings; scientific journals; educational and professional publications; health services research and clinical guidelines development; and the development of public policy positions on scientific matters. ASCO requires the participants in these activities—and, indeed, all committee and Board activities—to disclose financial interests or other relationships with an entity having a commercial interest in the subject matter in question.
