Montana Pediatric Clinical Trials Site

摘要 蒙大拿州和邻近的机构发展奖(IDEA)州包括很高比例的 脆弱的儿科人群，但这些人群仅限于没有机会被纳入多个 现场临床试验。IDEA声明儿科临床试验网络(ISPCTN)正在创建，以提供 为服务不足和农村人口提供最先进的临床试验，并将研究结果 有利于所有儿童的健康。ISPCTN试验的重点将有所不同，但将优先考虑四个 环境对儿童健康结果的影响(ECHO)计划的重点领域包括：1) 上呼吸道和下呼吸道疾病；2)肥胖；3)出生前、围产期和出生后结局；以及4)神经发育。 通过这项合作协议，蒙大拿州儿科临床试验网站(MPCTS)将成为合作伙伴 ISPCTN的成员。与ISPCTN数据协调和业务中心(DCOC)协调， MPCTS将成为ISPCTN指导委员会批准的多地点临床中心的参与招募地点 审判。为了实现这一目标，总部设在蒙大拿州米苏拉的MPCTS团队将由一名获得董事会认证的人员领导 儿科科学家-研究员，并得到儿科培训的研究护士协调员的支持，数据 管理器和数据库支持。MPCTS还将在两个合作项目中各使用一名兼职护士 位于密苏里州比林斯和密苏里州卡利斯佩尔的医疗保健中心。与主要的米苏拉医疗中心一样，这些 合作伙伴医疗保健中心是其各自的专科和专科儿科护理提供者 地区。总体而言，这些地点是蒙大拿州儿科专科护理的主要转诊地点，如 以及邻近的怀俄明州和爱达荷州的社区。MCPTS将加强儿科 通过利用怀俄明州蒙大拿州现有的IDEA计划，在这些和其他网站上提供招聘能力 和爱达荷州让医疗服务提供者参与进来，并向弱势社区伸出援手。从今年的第二年开始 合作协议MCPTS将参与一个或多个多站点的儿科临床试验(S)。我们的评价 计划将持续进行，以评估计划的有效性并确定以下机会 持续的质量改进以确保MCPTS满足我们地区儿科的需求 通过促进更好地获得尖端儿科临床研究，提高对儿童和儿童的认识。

Summary Montana and neighboring Institutional Development Award (IDeA) states include a high proportion of vulnerable pediatric populations, but these populations have limited to no opportunities for inclusion in multi- site clinical trials. The IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ISPCTN) is being created to provide access for underserved and rural populations to state-of-the-art clinical trials and to transfer findings that will benefit the health of all children. The focus of ISPCTN trials will be varied but priority will be given to the four focus areas of the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program which include: 1) upper and lower airway disease; 2) obesity; 3) pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes; and 4) neurodevelopment. Through this cooperative agreement the Montana Pediatric Clinical Trials Site (MPCTS) will be a partner member of the ISPCTN. In coordination with the ISPCTN Data Coordinating and Operations Center (DCOC), MPCTS will be a participating recruitment location for ISPCTN Steering Committee-approved multi-site clinical trials. To accomplish this goal the Missoula, Montana based MPCTS team will be led by a board-certified pediatric scientist-investigator and supported by a pediatric-trained Research Nurse Coordinator, a Data Manager and database support. MPCTS will also utilize a part-time nurse at each of two collaborating healthcare centers in Billings, MT and Kalispell, MT. As with the primary Missoula healthcare center, these partner healthcare centers are the specialty and subspecialty pediatric care providers for their respective regions. Collectively these locations serve as the main referral sites for pediatric specialty care in Montana as well as communities in the neighboring IDeA states of Wyoming and Idaho. MCPTS will enhance pediatric recruitment capabilities at these and other sites by leveraging existing IDeA programs in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho to engage health providers and reach out to vulnerable communities. Beginning in year two of this cooperative agreement MCPTS will participate in one or more multi-site pediatric clinical trial(s). Our evaluation plan will be conducted on a continuous basis to assess program effectiveness and to identify opportunities for continuous quality improvement to ensure that the MCPTS meets the needs of our regional pediatric populations by facilitating improved access to cutting-edge pediatric clinical research.
