Program:
This course is part of a continuing series of short courses dealing with the design, conduct, and analysis of clinical trials sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Trials. It is designed to examine the consequences of regulations on the design and conduct of clinical trials.
The subject matter of this course was of particular interest to our late colleague Brigid Leventhal, M.D., in whose honor we hold this course. Proceeds from the course will support an annual lectureship in her honor.
The topics for discussion will range from issues related to consent and protection of research subjects to more political topics such as required representation. The speakers in the course represent academia, the pharmaceutical industry, government regulatory agencies such as the FDA, and government research organizations such as NIH. This course is intended to attract a multidisciplinary audience of physicians, clinical trial methodologists, policy makers, staff of sponsoring or regulatory agencies, and other health professionals concerned with the design and conduct of clinical trials. The course will consist of a mixture of formal presentations and open discussions that address the following issues:
• informed consent and protection of research subjects
• quality assurance and monitoring
• representation on clinical trials
• trial monitoring and safety boards
Copies of lecture materials, a bibliography, and supplemental reading materials will be provided to each course participant.
OBJECTIVES:
This course is targeted at those who wish to learn about the impact of recent regulatory changes on the design and conduct of clinical trials; developed mechanisms and practices for coping with new regulations; and cope with the impact of new regulations on clinical investigators, coordinating centers, sponsoring agencies, and the public.
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be more familiar with:
• new regulations affecting clinical trials
• the historical and legal background for issues such as consents and quality assurance
• perspective of various researchers associated with clinical trials regarding regulations
• implications of regulations such as inclusion, consent, monitoring, and quality control on the routine design and analysis of clinical trials
