Abstract:
Medical records are increasingly becoming computerised and are potentially available for use in clinical trials. Over the next ten years there is likely to be a significant expansion in the use of such data in trials, both in the UK and internationally. This provides the opportunity to conduct new types of low-budget trials that would otherwise not be feasible; both to study the safety and effectiveness of new interventions and to look at comparative effectiveness or comparative safety of commonly used but understudied treatments. Workshop participants will be provided with an overview of the opportunities to use routinely collected medical data to aid in the design of, feasibility assessment for and conduct of clinical trials. In particular, participants will:
* Become aware of opportunities in England, Scotland and Wales to access routinely collected medical data in support of clinical trials, including descriptions of current data sources, procedures for gaining approval to access data and strengths and limitations of existing datasets. They will also become aware of ongoing developments and their timeframe for implementation.
* Learn from trialists about their experiences in gaining permission for access and using routine data from primary care, secondary care and mortality registers in ongoing and completed trials. This will include the use of data for study design, pre-screening for potentially eligible patients, baseline history, follow-up of prescriptions and study outcomes during the trial and for long-term follow-up beyond the end of the randomised component of a trial.
* Identify unresolved methodological and practical problems when using routine health data in trials
