Clinical Trials: Overview

3.3K
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...

Drug Dependence

1.1K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Digital health interventions
  • Patient-centered care
  • Opioid use disorder treatment

Background:

  • Long-term opioid therapy presents risks and limited efficacy.
  • Patient-centered tapering programs are recommended.
  • Developing supportive tools for opioid tapering is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and pilot an interactive web-based program called Summit.
  • To support patients considering an opioid taper.
  • To describe the development and pilot randomized trial protocol for Summit.

Main Methods:

  • Intervention mapping was used to develop the Summit program.
  • Usability testing and stakeholder engagement refined the multi-component mobile website.
  • A 9-month randomized controlled trial will compare Summit to a pain tracking app, with feasibility and acceptability as primary outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The Summit program has been developed.
  • Usability testing and stakeholder engagement were integral to its refinement.
  • Pilot randomized trial results are pending.

Conclusions:

  • Summit is an interactive, theory-informed program designed to aid patients in opioid tapering.
  • If effective, Summit could augment primary care for patients undergoing opioid tapering.
  • The study protocol outlines a pilot randomized trial to evaluate Summit's feasibility and acceptability.
