(formerly DQTC-SOS Reports)

The Committee to Evaluate Drugs/CCO Subcommittee (CED-CCO) reports are systematically developed statements aimed to assist deliberations of the CED, the committee responsible for making recommendations regarding drug funding. In contrast to clinical practice and organizational guidelines, the CED-CCO reports (formerly termed the Drug Quality Therapeutic Committee’s Standing Oncology Subcommittee (DQTC-SOS) Reports) have not completed the full guideline development cycle.

The PEBC developed the following evidence-based reports in response to requests from the CCO-CED and the DQTC-SOS.
