摘要 临床试验的进行，特别是在婴儿和儿童中，是复杂、耗时和昂贵的。 这种低效在很大程度上源于缓慢和无效的试验启动和进行。杜克大学和 范德比尔特大学提议建立儿童和成人创新试验中心(三叉戟) 为了提高试验效率，降低多点临床试验的成本，优化研究质量， 促进我国的健康。杜克大学和范德比尔特大学是唯一准备建立这项试验的大学 创新中心(TIC)基础设施，以响应这一CTSA融资机会。杜克大学将利用 能力、往绩和世界上最大的学术研究的儿科临床试验计划 组织，杜克临床研究所(DCRI)与范德比尔特著名的生物医学信息学 企业将高质量的多中心试验管理与复杂的信息化解决方案相融合 支持审判过程。杜克大学将利用世界上最大的由NIH赞助的多中心儿科 临床试验计划，以支持在这一服务不足的人群中的研究。三叉戟不仅会改变审判 CTSA站点的质量和效率，但将利用三叉戟基础设施和资源 除了CTSA，考虑到DCRI在世界各地建立的站点网络。为了实现这一愿景，我们将 建立三个核心，以制定和实施整个设计和实施创新战略 审判。研究设计核心将使用创新方法，并直接与CTSA招聘一起工作 创新中心和研究调查人员制定可靠的方案和可行的研究预算。这项研究 初创企业核心将使用可互操作的IT系统，使用标准化研究文档，评估现场 能力，建立主临床试验协议，促进电子同意，并由此监督中央IRB 缩短第一个参与者注册的时间。然后，研究行为核心将跟踪研究进展和质量， 提供监管支持，并开发材料以最大限度地影响公众健康。我们将扩大红帽 能够通过基于Web的门户促进研究文档的收集，并收集、测量和行动 根据试验指标。从试验的最初设计到结果的公布，调查人员将 与运营和研究方法专家合作。这一合作伙伴关系通过以下方式促进持续创新 自学，经常考核。这项工作的主要目标将是实施一种新的多地点临床 试验平台与最先进的临床试验操作相结合，提高多点试验质量和 整个CTSA的效率。

ABSTRACT The conduct of clinical trials, particularly in infants and children, is complex, time consuming and expensive. Much of this inefficiency stems from slow and ineffective trial start-up and conduct. Duke University and Vanderbilt University propose to develop the Center for Innovative TRIals in ChilDrEN and AdulTs (TRIDENT) to improve trial efficiencies, reduce the costs of multi-site clinical trials, optimize study quality, and in doing so, advance health in our country. Duke and Vanderbilt Universities are uniquely poised to establish the Trial Innovation Center (TIC) infrastructure in response to this CTSA funding opportunity. Duke will leverage the capacity, track record, and the pediatrics clinical trials program of the world’s largest Academic Research Organization, Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), with Vanderbilt’s renowned biomedical informatics enterprise to meld high quality multi-center trial management with sophisticated informatics solutions supporting trial processes. Duke will capitalize on the world’s largest NIH-sponsored multicenter pediatric clinical trials program to support research in this underserved population. TRIDENT will not only transform trial quality and efficiency at CTSA sites, but will leverage TRIDENT infrastructure and resources to reach well beyond the CTSAs, given DCRI’s established site network throughout the world. To achieve this vision, we will establish three cores that will develop and implement innovative strategies across the design and conduct of trials. The Study Design core will use innovative methods and work directly with the CTSA Recruitment Innovation Centers and study investigators to develop robust protocols and feasible study budgets. The Study Start-up Core will engage interoperable IT systems, employ standardized study documents, assess site capabilities, establish Master Clinical Trial Agreements, facilitate e-consent, and oversee a central IRB thereby improving time to first participant enrolled. The Study Conduct core will then track study progress and quality, provide regulatory support, and develop materials to maximize public health impact. We will expand RedCap capabilities to facilitate collection of study documents via a web based portal, and collect, measure and act upon trial metrics. From the initial design of the trial until dissemination of the results, investigators will be partnered with operational and research methods experts. This partnership facilitates ongoing innovation via self-learning and frequent assessment. Key goals of this effort will be to implement a novel multi-site clinical trials platform combined with state of the art clinical trial operations to increase multi-site trial quality and efficiency across the CTSA.
