This book was released on 2018 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient recruitment is key to the success of any clinical trial, as clinical trials cannot be conducted without the willful participation of subjects. However, clinical trial recruitment has always been a great challenge in clinical studies. This practicum project conducted over an eight-month period, compares three different methods of subject recruitment into 2 clinical research studies conducted at the Heart & Lung Transplant and Pulmonary Research Department of Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, Dallas. The three recruitment methods are: Physician Referral, EHR Screening and Online Portals. We hypothesize that Physician referral is a more successful method for enrolling patients into clinical studies of different heart and lung diseases. A total of 333 potential subjects were identified via EHR screening or referred by physicians or signed up on the clinical trial portal to be contacted about the study. 108 patients were referred by physicians, 212 patients were identified via EHR screening and 13 patients signed up on the online clinical trial portal to be contacted for a study. By comparing the method of patient recruitment into clinical studies, we can ascertain what method works best in recruiting patients for clinical trials.

Download or read book Sharing Clinical Trial Data written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data sharing can accelerate new discoveries by avoiding duplicative trials, stimulating new ideas for research, and enabling the maximal scientific knowledge and benefits to be gained from the efforts of clinical trial participants and investigators. At the same time, sharing clinical trial data presents risks, burdens, and challenges. These include the need to protect the privacy and honor the consent of clinical trial participants; safeguard the legitimate economic interests of sponsors; and guard against invalid secondary analyses, which could undermine trust in clinical trials or otherwise harm public health. Sharing Clinical Trial Data presents activities and strategies for the responsible sharing of clinical trial data. With the goal of increasing scientific knowledge to lead to better therapies for patients, this book identifies guiding principles and makes recommendations to maximize the benefits and minimize risks. This report offers guidance on the types of clinical trial data available at different points in the process, the points in the process at which each type of data should be shared, methods for sharing data, what groups should have access to data, and future knowledge and infrastructure needs. Responsible sharing of clinical trial data will allow other investigators to replicate published findings and carry out additional analyses, strengthen the evidence base for regulatory and clinical decisions, and increase the scientific knowledge gained from investments by the funders of clinical trials. The recommendations of Sharing Clinical Trial Data will be useful both now and well into the future as improved sharing of data leads to a stronger evidence base for treatment. This book will be of interest to stakeholders across the spectrum of research-from funders, to researchers, to journals, to physicians, and ultimately, to patients.

Download or read book Data Management and Clinical Trials written by Nicole Rotmensz and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1989 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are, at present, some 2000 clinical trials in progress all over the world. For various reasons, however, a good portion of them will not have any impact on oncological practice, mainly because they were poorly designed, inappropriately conducted, improperly analysed, of poor quality or repetitive. There is obviously an acute need for better education in clinical trials among clinicians, so that they will concentate only on significant trials properly conducted, and recruiting a large number of patients. This book presents a sound evaluation of the problems connected with the conduct of clinical trials, with a special emphasis on the need for a strict interaction between clinicians, data managers and statisticians. Most of the crucial problems related to data management and clinical trials have been reviewed, and the reader is furnished with an objective picture of a subject which although hostile to many doctors should become familiar to all clinicians who have at heart the duty and desire to combine the progress of science with the safeguard of the cancer patient.
Download or read book Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes written by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

Download or read book Analysis of Factors that Affect Recruitment Process and Effectiveness of Recruitment Methods in Treatment Resistant Depression Study written by Eva K. Patel and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: The following Research Project is a Process Improvement Study to identify the factors affecting the recruitment process and identify best recruitment method in Treatment Resistant Depression Study. Adequate recruitment is essential to any study's success. Most studies report only the effectiveness of recruitment method, but very few report the cost of randomizations. This research project will analyze the effect of different recruitment methods in the Treatment Resistant Depression Study. The study will work on cost analysis which can be critical when deciding which recruitment methods to implement in Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials. Methods: For this research project, a study will be conducted to analyze the factors that affect the recruitment process and compare the effectiveness of different recruitment methods. Factors include demographical data such as age, gender, ethnicity, race and distance from site. Data for this study will be collected from a randomized double blind, active controlled "Treatment Resistant Depression Study" conducted at North Texas Clinical Trials, Fort Worth, TX. Data will include how many subjects were consented, how many of them were enrolled and how many of them failed the screening process. Results: All four recruitment methods were compared, based on the number of subjects referred, enrolled and randomized for the study. Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between subjects referred, enrolled and randomized using all four methods (p-value: 0.1920). Analysis was performed on data which showed a statistically significant difference between the number of subjects referred and randomized through subject database and clinical connection (p-value: 0.0184). Total pooled data revealed race and distance from site being the only predicting factors on the outcome of being screened into the study. II Conclusion: Patient recruitment is a vital component in assuring the success of a clinical trial and can be time consuming. One method of recruitment alone is not sufficient to meet the target enrollment. It was difficult to prove significant effect of all the factors on the recruitment process due to small sample size, but future studies with larger sample size could potentially reveal more significant impact of factors associated with the recruitment process.
