Ethical Considerations When Vulnerable Populations are Subjects in Pragmatic Trials

Ethical Considerations When Vulnerable Populations are Subjects in Pragmatic Trials

Description

This Grand Rounds presentation was part of a special series, Ethical & Regulatory Dimensions of Pragmatic Clinical Trials. Emily Largent explains that while it is ethically acceptable and imperative to enroll vulnerable subjects in research, we must also think about their vulnerability in systematic ways so that we know not only what they are vulnerable to but how we can protect them.

What Do Endpoints and Outcomes Look Like in Pragmatic Trials?

What Do Endpoints and Outcomes Look Like in Pragmatic Trials?

Description

Endpoints and outcomes are different in pragmatic trials than in explanatory trials. In pragmatic trials, outcomes and endpoints should be meaningful to key stakeholders, easy to collect, and relying on routinely collected data. In explanatory trials, researchers are often looking at short-term surrogates or process measures and data are collected outside of the realm of routine care.

How Do Data Sources inform the Choice of Endpoints and Outcomes in Pragmatic Trials?

Description

Pragmatic clinical trials are often dealing with multiple sources of data from more than one health system, EHRs, and multiple payers claims databases. It can be a balancing act in terms of measurement and pragmatism. While patient-reported outcomes are more expensive, and less efficient, they are often the most salient outcomes from a stakeholder perspective, and therefore, important to collect in pragmatic clinical trials.
