ALLIANCE STANDARDIZED TRANSLATIONAL 'OMICS RESOURCE: A-STOR

A-STOR provides a secure, HIPAA-compliant genomic data repository and standardized computational processing of sequencing data after primary clinical endpoint reporting, in collaboration with each clinical trial’s correlative science investigators.

• A-STOR provides: stable, secure, scalable storage for multi-omic data (DNAseq, RNAseq, SNP/GWAS), approved clinical data, and diverse additional data types (e.g. pathology image data, circulating tumor DNA reports, NanoString, etc).
• A-STOR enables controlled access to approved investigators world-wide to facilitate rapid advancement of correlative analyses.

Mission and Values: The A-STOR mission is to accelerate scientific discovery through data harmonization and accessibility. Our values include data accessibility, rigor, transparency, and service.

How to request data: Data is available to any investigator after scientific and regulatory review. Per National Cancer Institute's National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) guidelines, any investigator may submit a request for data from published Alliance or legacy American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG), Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), or North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) trials.

• All A-STOR data sharing requests go through the Alliance Translational Research Program data request process - click here.

Organization: A-STOR is a collaboration of Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (Alliance) Translational Research Program (TRP) and Statistical and Data Management Center (SDMC), The Ohio State University (OSU), and the University of North Carolina (UNC).
