## TL;DR

Sarah Cannon Research Institute, of Nashville, is a community-based research network owned jointly by HCA Healthcare and McKesson whose drug development units across the United States and United Kingdom frequently host first-in-human oncology trials. Whether its community sites reach patients who would never travel to an academic centre, and how their outcomes compare, is untested.

## Summary

Sarah Cannon Research Institute, based in Nashville, is a large community-based research network, a joint venture of HCA Healthcare and McKesson, that runs early-phase oncology trials across its drug development units. Its drug development units and site network span the United States and the United Kingdom and frequently host first-in-human oncology studies. OnCo links it to community oncology and site networks and to contract research organisations. Whether early-phase trials run in community settings reach patients who would never travel to an academic centre is the case for its model, and the open question is how its outcomes compare. The community oncology page carries the wider picture.
