DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application reflects a proposal from the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) / Harvard Medical School to become one of the Clinical Centers of the Chronic Prostatitis Collaborative Research Network (CPCRN) to develop and conduct randomized clinical trials for evaluating novel therapies in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). The BWH/MGH Harvard clinical center has a history of successful recruitment and retention of CP/CPPS patients, including a substantial proportion of Latino patients, from the New England area for CPCRN 1997- 2003 - both for the Chronic Prostatitis Cohort Study and Randomized Clinical Trial. Drs. Mary McNaughton Collins and Michael O'Leary have advanced the field of CP/CPPS by helping to develop and validate the NIH-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index, translating the index to Spanish, evaluating the quality of life and resource utilization of men with CP/CPPS, as well as examining the epidemiology and natural history of the condition. Dr. McNaughton Collins has also performed several chronic prostatitis studies as a member of the Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) for Prostate Diseases and the Cochrane Collaboration. The BWH/MGH Harvard clinical center has expanded to include a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary network of co-investigators and consultants with both content (i.e., chronic prostatitis, pain management) expertise and methodological (i.e., clinical trials, basic science, and outcomes research) training, as well as fresh sources of chronic prostatitis patients, especially newly diagnosed patients and minority patients. The new reservoirs of CP/CPPS patients include: 1) newly diagnosed CP/CPPS patients from primary care practices and medical walk-in units across the two large institutions and their neighborhood health centers, including the BWH internal medicine Spanish clinic; 2) both newly diagnosed and long-term CP/CPPS patients from the MGH Spanish urology clinic, and; 3) both newly diagnosed and long-term patients from Boston Medical Center, which is a large, inner-city academic health center providing care to a large proportion of African American patients. To assist in the recruitment and retention of Latino men, the site now includes 3 Spanish speaking medicine and urology investigators, and the Research Coordinator is taking Spanish classes to become proficient. This proposal includes a clinical trial design for consideration by the CPCRN. The multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary team from the BWH/MGH Harvard clinical center is eager to collaborate on treatment trials and ancillary studies with other CPCRN centers, the NIH/NIDDK scientific team, and the Interstitial Cystitis Clinical Trials Group.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请反映了布莱根妇女医院 (BWH) 和马萨诸塞州总医院 (MGH)/哈佛医学院的一项提案，即成为慢性前列腺炎合作研究网络 (CPCRN) 的临床中心之一，以开发和开展随机临床试验，以评估慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征 (CP/CPPS) 患者的新疗法。 BWH/MGH 哈佛临床中心拥有成功招募和保留来自新英格兰地区的 CP/CPPS 患者（包括相当大比例的拉丁裔患者）的历史，参加 1997 年至 2003 年的 CPCRN - 包括慢性前列腺炎队列研究和随机临床试验。博士。 Mary McNaughton Collins 和 Michael O'Leary 通过帮助开发和验证 NIH 慢性前列腺炎症状指数、将该指数翻译成西班牙语、评估患有 CP/CPPS 的男性的生活质量和资源利用以及检查该病症的流行病学和自然史，推进了 CP/CPPS 领域的发展。 McNaughton Collins 博士还作为前列腺疾病患者结果研究小组 (PORT) 和 Cochrane 协作组织的成员进行了多项慢性前列腺炎研究。 BWH/MGH 哈佛临床中心已扩大到包括一个由共同研究者和顾问组成的多机构、多学科网络，他们拥有内容（即慢性前列腺炎、疼痛管理）专业知识和方法学（即临床试验、基础科学和结果研究）培训，以及慢性前列腺炎患者的新鲜来源，特别是新诊断的患者和少数族裔患者。新的 CP/CPPS 患者库包括： 1) 来自两个大型机构及其邻里卫生中心的初级保健诊所和医疗单位的新诊断的 CP/CPPS 患者，包括 BWH 内科西班牙诊所； 2) 来自 MGH 西班牙泌尿外科诊所的新诊断和长期 CP/CPPS 患者，以及； 3) 来自波士顿医疗中心的新诊断患者和长期患者，该中心是一个大型内城学术健康中心，为很大一部分非裔美国患者提供护理。为了帮助招募和留住拉丁裔男性，该网站现在包括 3 名讲西班牙语的医学和泌尿科研究人员，研究协调员正在参加西班牙语课程以提高水平。该提案包括供 CPRN 考虑的临床试验设计。来自 BWH/MGH 哈佛临床中心的多机构、多学科团队渴望与其他 CPRN 中心、NIH/NIDDK 科学团队和间质性膀胱炎临床试验组合作进行治疗试验和辅助研究。
