I am guest lecturer (paid) at the Boston College William F. Connell School of Nursing (more information at http://www.bc.edu/schools/son/aboutus.html).
Three or four times a year I lecture on the application of Computerized Systems in Clinical Research; this is my course deck from 2014.

eClinical - Computerized Systems in Clinical Research (NS1450X)
The rapid adoption of computerized systems in the management of clinical trials is quickly changing not only the dynamics
of clinical trials but also redefining the roles of individuals working in the field. While the focus of a clinical trial will always
ultimately be on the safety of the patients, eClinical applications now impact everything from case report form collection, to
how often sites are monitored, to communication with the patients. This course focuses on understanding how sponsors,
contract research organizations, hospitals, universities, clinical investigators and you are being impacted by the movement
to eClinical applications. While the instructor will be showing various computer applications as part of the course, students
will not be hands-on, will not need computers nor need to be "tech-savvy". The goal of the course is to exposure you to the
eClinical applications that you will most likely work with as a CRA or CRC.

10. Why do Sponsors run Clinical Trials?
• To assist in the advancement of medical science
• Drug and Medical Device makers need to be sure that a
drug or medical device is safe
• Drug and Medical Device makers need to determine
whether a Drug or Medical Device is effective at treating
a certain condition
• For the Life Sciences industry to make a profit
10
To disprove the null hypothesis via data
11.
12. Phase I Clinical Trials
• Initial introduction of an
investigational drug into humans,
generally using healthy volunteers *
• Goal : Assess drug safety and dosage
in humans
• Studies evaluate absorption,
distribution, metabolism and
elimination (ADME) of the drug, side
effects, and determine maximum
tolerated doses (MTD)
• Few subjects (20 – 80)
12
* Although Phase I studies in most therapeutic areas consist of healthy patients, Phase I studies in oncology consist of patients with active disease.
13. Phase I Clinical Trials
13
*MTD (maximum tolerated dose ) --the highest dose for which no more than 1 of the 6 treated patients exhibits DLT (dose-limiting toxicity )
15. Phase II Clinical Trials
• Determines common short-term side
effects and risks
• Goal : Assess efficacy and safety and
further evaluate the proposed
dosage from Phase humans
• Conducted in the target population
• Determines the best dose for the
target population and how often it
should be given
• Few subjects (100 – 300)
15
16. Phase III Clinical Trials
• Definitive efficacy studies for
regulatory submission and approval
• Goal : Gather pivotal efficacy / safety
information needed to evaluate the
overall risk-benefit ration of the drug
in the target population
• Usually conducted in hundreds or
even thousands of subjects at
multiple sites
• Two to three years+ in duration
16
17. Phase IV Clinical Trials
• Studies can continue after approval
application is submitted
• Goal : After approval, continue to
assess long-term safety
• May be required as part of Regulatory
Agency approval
• Paper Patient Dairies and ePRO
(electronic patient reported outcome)
17
18. “Virtual” Clinical Trials
18
• Pfizer and Mytrus
• From home via Internet, mobile phone
and snail mail
• Overly complex enrollment process
hampered recruitment
• Designed for US; consideration to
modify for European regulators’ needs
• Search YouTube for “Mytrus At-Home
Online Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical
Trial”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fEx5V45zp4
19. HEOR Clinical Trials
• Health Economics analyses
• Outcome Research analyses
• Not empirical in nature (i.e., no
Protocol involved)
• Could be just data from past trials
• Could be subjective data (i.e., Truven
or Micromedex)
• Think “dollars”; not just “data”
