Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

6.4K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Clinical Trials: Overview

5.4K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

6.5K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.4K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Area of Science:

  • Clinical research administration
  • Academic medical centers
  • Research support services

Background:

  • Clinical research oversight at academic medical centers faces challenges due to complex regulatory requirements.
  • Ineffective research administration can divert focus from scientific progress, study conduct, and patient safety.
  • Decisions on research administration structure can lead to conflicts between centralized control and individual group autonomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the establishment of a unified research support office at Duke University School of Medicine.
  • To present a customer support framework for research administration in academic medical centers.
  • To share lessons learned from implementing a centralized research support office.

Main Methods:

  • The Duke Office of Clinical Research (DOCR) was formed in 2012.
  • A customer support framework was adopted for research administration.
  • Services were developed to assist clinical investigators in navigating the research environment.

Main Results:

  • The Duke Office of Clinical Research provides a range of services.
  • The office has achieved high satisfaction ratings from users.
  • Successful implementation required ongoing culture change.

Conclusions:

  • A unified research support office can effectively streamline clinical research administration.
  • The Duke Office of Clinical Research model offers a potential framework for other institutions.
  • Customer support principles can enhance research administration and investigator experience.
