The Research Pharmacy Shared Service (RPSS) provides investigational agents for many members of the Arizona Cancer Center (AZCC). The Pharmacy Services include ordering, storing, reconstituting, and dispensing investigational agents under protocols for AZCC Members. These include investigational clinical protocols related to cancer prevention and cancer therapeutics.

The Research Pharmacy Service is available to all Arizona Cancer Center Investigators. This includes Investigators in surgical, medical and radiation oncology that perform clinical trials with investigational cancer preventative or therapeutic agents.

Rationale for the Service

• Cannot charge for investigational agents
• Audit requirements are labor-intensive
• Service charge-back for industrial study sponsors
• Centralization is crucial for regulatory compliance
• Novel formulations help establish new studies and new investigators
