DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application describes the creation of the University of Rochester (UR) Clinical Trials Unit (CTU). The UR CTU will consist of an Administrative Component and four Clinical Research Sites (CRSs). The UR CTU is proposing to affiliate with the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG). Letters of commitment from Dr. Larry Corey, Principal Investigator of the HVTN, and Dr. Constance Benson, Principal Investigator of the ACTG, are included in the Section "Consultants and Letters of Support". Of the four UR CTU CRSs, one will conduct studies for the HVTN and three will conduct studies for the ACTG. All four CRSs are currently main units or subunits of an existing HIV Vaccine Trials Unit (HVTU) or AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU). Two CRSs will be located at the UR Medical Center (URMC). One, the UR HVTN CRS, will conduct HVTN studies, and the other, the UR ACTG CRS will conduct ACTG studies. The third CRS will be located at AIDS Community Health Center (ACHC), in Rochester, New York and will perform ACTG studies. The fourth will be located at the State University of New York at Buffalo, the UB CRS, and will perform ACTG studies. The Administrative Core of the UR CTU will be located within the UR Infectious Diseases Division (IDD), which also contains the UR HVTN CRS and the UR ACTG CRS. The UR IDD has a long history of performing NIAID-supported clinical investigation and has been part of the HVTN and ACTG since both programs originated. As a consequence of this history, the IDD has developed approaches to sharing resources, which will be expanded in the proposed CTU. Centralized Clinical Research Functions will include a Processing Laboratory, a Flow Cytometry Laboratory, a Data and Quality Management Team, a Community Education and Outreach Program (CEOP), and an approach to Staff Training. These Functions will be shared by all four CRSs. The CTU will support the research agendas proposed in the HVTN and ACTG Leadership Applications by enrolling subjects in critical studies, focusing on areas in which UR CTU investigators have particular expertise and a demonstrated record of performance. UR CTU investigators will also make important scientific and administrative contributions to the HVTN and ACTG. The UR CTU will serve as a mentoring unit for a CTU based at the Federal University of Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The research outlined in this proposal is designed to make contributions to the prevention and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS. The proposed UR CTU will affiliate with two large, multicentered programs, the HVTN and the ACTG. The goal of the HVTN is to develop a vaccine that will prevent HIV infection or delay the onset of symptomatic disease. The goal of the ACTG is to develop more effective treatments for established HIV infection in a variety of patient populations. ADMINISTRATIVE COMPONENT:

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请描述了罗切斯特大学（UR）临床试验单元（CTU）的创建。UR CTU将由一个行政部门和四个临床研究中心（CRSs）组成。urctu正在提议加入艾滋病毒疫苗试验网络（HVTN）和艾滋病临床试验小组（ACTG）。HVTN首席研究员Larry Corey博士和ACTG首席研究员Constance Benson博士的承诺函包含在“顾问和支持函”部分。在四项研究小组研究报告中，一项将为HVTN进行研究，三项将为ACTG进行研究。所有四个临床试验中心目前都是现有的艾滋病毒疫苗试验单位（HVTU）或艾滋病临床试验单位（ACTU）的主要单位或亚单位。两个crs将设在UR医疗中心（URMC）。一个是大学HVTN研究中心，负责HVTN研究，另一个是大学ACTG研究中心，负责ACTG研究。第三个中心将设在纽约州罗彻斯特的艾滋病社区卫生中心（ACHC），并将进行ACTG研究。第四个将位于纽约州立大学布法罗分校（UB CRS），并将进行ACTG研究。乌拉尔大学传染病科的行政核心将设在乌拉尔大学传染病科，该科还包括乌拉尔大学HVTN疾病控制中心和乌拉尔大学ACTG疾病控制中心。UR IDD在niaid支持的临床研究方面有着悠久的历史，自HVTN和ACTG项目成立以来一直是这两个项目的一部分。由于这段历史，IDD开发了共享资源的方法，这些方法将在拟议的CTU中得到扩展。集中临床研究功能将包括一个处理实验室、一个流式细胞术实验室、一个数据和质量管理团队、一个社区教育和外展计划（CEOP）以及一个员工培训方法。这些职能将由所有四个中心共同承担。CTU将支持HVTN和ACTG领导力应用中提出的研究议程，招募关键研究对象，重点关注UR CTU研究人员具有特殊专业知识和表现记录的领域。CTU调查人员还将为HVTN和ACTG作出重要的科学和行政贡献。乌尔乌尔反恐组将作为设在巴西圣保罗联邦大学的反恐组的指导单位。本提案中概述的研究旨在为预防和治疗艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病作出贡献。拟议中的UR CTU将隶属于两个大型、多中心的项目，HVTN和ACTG。HVTN的目标是开发一种疫苗，以预防艾滋病毒感染或延缓有症状疾病的发作。ACTG的目标是为各种患者群体中已确诊的艾滋病毒感染开发更有效的治疗方法。
