The Oklahoma Pediatric Clinical Trials Network

项目摘要/摘要 俄克拉荷马州儿科临床试验网络(OPCTN)的目标是为 服务不足的农村城市少数民族和俄克拉何马州的美国印第安人儿童人口达到了最先进的水平 临床试验和研究结果的转让将有利于这些儿童的健康。OPCTN将是一个 IDEA国家儿科临床试验网络(ISPCTN)成员。ISPCTN将促进 IDEA州的站点参与环境对儿童健康结果的影响 (ECHO)的研究将集中在儿童健康的四个主要耳朵：1)上下呼吸道疾病，2)肥胖；3) 出生前、围产期和出生后结局；以及4)神经发育。这些都是相当健康的领域 对俄克拉荷马州的担忧。 OPCTN将通过在俄克拉荷马州整合各种资源来实现其目标。会的 以儿科和俄克拉何马州临床与翻译科学研究所为中心，地址为 俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心。它结合了俄克拉荷马州的IDEA-CTR， 俄克拉荷马州与该州对抗疗法的学术医生共享临床和翻译资源 医学院，俄克拉荷马州城乡社区的提供者，以及基于实践的研究网络 以扩大俄克拉荷马州儿童参与临床研究的机会。这个 OPCTN将与代表美国印第安人、拉丁裔/西班牙裔的社区顾问团体接触， 和非裔美国人社区以及州内以县为基础的健康改善组织 允许他们就研究项目的设计、实施和社区参与兴趣提供意见。这个 OPCTN还将培训一批儿科临床医生，他们将在设计和实施 临床试验，以提高该州医学界进行临床和治疗的能力 翻译研究的努力。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of the Oklahoma Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (OPCTN) is to provide access for the underserved rural urban minority, and American Indian populations of children in Oklahoma to state-of-the-art clinical trials and the transfer of findings that will benefit the health of those children. The OPCTN will be a member of the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ISPCTN). The ISPCTN will facilitate the involvement of sites in IDeA states to participate in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) study will focus on four primary ears of child health: 1) upper and lower airway disease, 2) obesity; 3) pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes; and 4) neurodevelopment. These are each areas of substantial health concern for Oklahoma. The OPCTN will accomplish its goals by assembling a diverse mixture of resources within Oklahoma. It will be centered in the Department of Pediatrics and the Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. It combines the resources of Oklahoma's IDeA-CTR, the Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources, with academic physicians at the state's allopathic medical school, providers in Oklahoma urban and rural communities, and practice-based research networks in order to broaden the opportunities for children in Oklahoma to participate in clinical research studies. The OPCTN will engage with community consultant groups that represent the American Indian, Latino/Hispanic, and African American communities as well as county-based health improvement organizations within the state to allow their input on research project design, implementation, and community participatory interest. The OPCTN will also train a cadre of pediatric clinicians that will be experienced in the design and conduct of clinical trials in order to increase the capacity of the medical community in the state to conduct clinical and translational research efforts.
