Download or read book Behavioral Clinical Trials for Chronic Diseases written by Lynda H. Powell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive guide to the design of behavioral randomized clinical trials (RCT) for chronic diseases. It includes the scientific foundations for behavioral trial methods, problems that have been encountered in past behavioral trials, advances in design that have evolved, and promising trends and opportunities for the future. The value of this book lies in its potential to foster an ability to “speak the language of medicine” through the conduct of high-quality behavioral clinical trials that match the rigor commonly seen in double-blind drug trials. It is relevant for testing any treatment aimed at improving a behavioral, social, psychosocial, environmental, or policy-level risk factor for a chronic disease including, for example, obesity, sedentary behavior, adherence to treatment, psychosocial stress, food deserts, and fragmented care. Outcomes of interest are those that are of clinical significance in the treatment of chronic diseases, including standard risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose, and clinical outcomes such as hospitalizations, functional limitations, excess morbidity, quality of life, and mortality. This link between behavior and chronic disease requires innovative clinical trial methods not only from the behavioral sciences but also from medicine, epidemiology, and biostatistics. This integration does not exist in any current book, or in any training program, in either the behavioral sciences or medicine.

Download or read book An Overview of Clinical Trial Operation written by Shibadas Biswal and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a must-read for students and professionals for a broad understanding of the entire process of clinical trial operation. In the second edition released in December 2017, we have added several new topics of interest taking the total count to 112. At the moment, a clinical trial is the most relevant method at our disposal to explore and establish safety/efficacy of a new medicine. It is the fundamental basis of clinical development programs of healthcare products. Clinical research has opened up several new career choices. Graduates in medicine, pharmacy, and other life sciences now have the option to work as investigators, scientists, project managers, data managers, monitors, study coordinators, regulatory affairs managers, and so on. Many of these positions have specialized and focused responsibilities in the industry setting. Considering the highly complex environment of clinical research, a broad overview is indispensable for effective collaboration.This book has been written for life science graduates aspiring to work in clinical research industry or clinical research professionals without considerable experience in trial operation. It would also be useful for professionals with focused responsibilities to broaden understanding of the entire gamut of trial operation. As fundamental approach is independent of nature of the investigational product (e.g. drug, device, vaccine or diagnostic agent), we are hopeful of its wider usefulness to the entire healthcare industry.The objective is to provide a broad outline of key activities, principles, roles, and responsibilities without getting into procedural details. Most organizations involved in clinical research have defined processes and procedures to carry out specific responsibilities relevant to their business. Hence, the discussion is purposefully limited to an overview to keep it concise yet informative. Discussion in each topic covers the background, operational overview, and usual challenges.Frequently used terminology has been introduced in the context of specific topics to induce familiarity. The book has been organized into several topics from the perspective of a project manager driving an entire trial. Organization of topics is according to the flow of trial operation from conception to the end. At the outset, the context of different trials according to phases of drug development has been introduced. Subsequent topics are on planning, setup, execution, and closeout in a sequential manner. Towards the end, the topics are on few general aspects of trial operation.This book has been written based on our practical experience, as well as regulatory guidance and other freely accessible literature. Good clinical practice (GCP) lays down the fundamental guiding principles for trial operation. Familiarity with any GCP guidance is highly recommended for the best outcome from this book.
