Ethics and regulatory onboarding documentation for 2 of the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory’s newest studies is now available. The documents include meeting minutes and supplementary materials summarizing recent discussions of ethics and regulatory issues associated with the LungSMART trial and the STEP-2 trial.
The consultations took place by video conference and included representation from the study teams, members of the NIH Collaboratory’s Ethics and Regulatory Core, NIH staff, and NIH Collaboratory Coordinating Center personnel.
LungSMART will test telehealth interventions designed to address logistical barriers and hesitancy around completing lung cancer screening among patients receiving care in community health centers in Utah.
