AstraZeneca was recognized for its role not only as a pioneering cancer data provider to Project Data Sphere, LLC but also in becoming the leading provider of clinical trial data in this effort to enable unprecedented research collaboration to solve complex scientific problems. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was also among the first organizations to provide data, creating a model for other academic cancer centers and research cooperative groups to share historical, patient-level, comparator-arm cancer data via the Project Data Sphere® platform.
