Montana Pediatric Clinical Trials Site

总结 蒙大拿州和邻近的机构发展奖（IDEA）州包括高比例的 脆弱的儿科人群，但这些人群的机会有限，没有纳入多， 临床试验中心。正在创建IDEA国家儿科临床试验网络（ISPCTN），以提供 为服务不足的人口和农村人口提供最先进的临床试验，并转移将 有益于所有儿童的健康。ISPCTN试验的重点将有所不同，但将优先考虑以下四个方面 环境对儿童健康结果的影响（ECHO）计划的重点领域包括：1） 上和下呼吸道疾病; 2）肥胖; 3）产前、产中和产后结果;和4）神经发育。 通过这项合作协议，蒙大拿儿科临床试验中心（MPCTS）将成为合作伙伴。 ISPCTN的成员。与ISPCTN数据协调和运营中心（DCOC）协调， MPCTS将是ISPCTN指导委员会批准的多中心临床试验的参与招募地点 审判为了实现这一目标，蒙大拿州米苏拉的MPCTS团队将由董事会认证的 儿科科学家调查员，并由儿科培训的研究护士协调员，数据 管理员和数据库支持。MPCTS还将在两个合作项目中的每一个项目中使用一名兼职护士。 蒙大拿州比林斯和卡利斯佩尔的医疗中心。与主要的Missoula医疗中心一样， 合作伙伴医疗保健中心是专业和亚专业儿科护理提供者， 地区总的来说，这些地点是蒙大拿州儿科专科护理的主要转诊地点， 以及邻近的怀俄明州和爱达荷州的社区。MCPTS将提高儿科 通过利用怀俄明州蒙大拿州的现有IDEA计划，在这些地点和其他地点实现招募能力 和爱达荷州，让医疗服务提供者参与进来，并深入弱势社区。从第二年开始， 合作协议MCPTS将参与一项或多项多中心儿科临床试验。我们的评估 计划将在持续的基础上进行，以评估计划的有效性，并确定 持续的质量改进，以确保MCPTS满足我们区域儿科的需求 通过促进更好地获得尖端的儿科临床研究，

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.
