PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND CLINICAL TRIALS: NEW MODELS AND DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

June 27-28, 2011
Conduits and Department of Health Evidence and Policy
Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Goldwurm Auditorium
Icahn Medical Institute, 1st Floor

New York, NY 10029

Background:

Rapid advances in biomedical research have drawn attention to the critical need for an effective clinical trial system that can generate the evidence needed to translate discoveries into improved patient care, and illuminate targets for further innovation. There is growing recognition, however, that the U.S. clinical trial enterprise is unable to keep pace with the national demand for actionable research results, and inefficiencies in the clinical trial enterprise limit our ability to realize the clinical benefits of scientific discovery. Many clinical trials never meet their recruitment goals and others are accruing patients far too slowly. In addition, the divide between clinical research and clinical practice is growing wider—physicians working in real world clinical care settings are removed from the clinical trials on which medical evidence and care choices are ideally made. Successfully engaging

the broader public (including patients and communities) and medical professionals (community physicians and those practicing in academic medical centers) in the clinical trial enterprise is a significant challenge.

In light of these current challenges to clinical trials in the United States, this collaboration between the IOM Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation and Mount Sinai School of Medicine seeks to engage stakeholders and experts in an open discussion of current challenges and potential solutions to improving the capacity for efficient conduct of clinical trials in the United States through enhancing public engagement.

Meeting Objectives:

•  Define and discuss the problem of inadequate public engagement in clinical trials.

•  Identify the structures and culture of health care systems and delivery organizations that fail to support or engage with the clinical trial enterprise and suggest potential solutions for how health centers can be engaged to support the clinical trial enterprise.

•  Discuss how academic medical centers can create successful community partnerships to improve public engagement in clinical trials.

•  Highlight and discuss models/methods, both proven and yet to be tried, of public engagement. Address the media’s role in public engagement.

•  Describe novel clinical trial designs (such as adaptive clinical trial designs) that minimize enrollment needs and address treatment assignment concerns of physicians and their patients.

•  Involve stakeholders in a discussion of moving forward to create a comprehensive strategy for enhanced public engagement in clinical trials.

Clinical trials provide essential information needed to turn basic medical research findings into patient treatments. New treatments must be studied in large numbers of humans to find out whether they are effective and to assess any harm that may arise from treatment. There is growing recognition among many stakeholders that the U.S. clinical trials enterprise is unable to keep pace with the national demand for research results. The IOM, along with the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, held a workshop June 27-28, 2011, to engage stakeholders and experts in a discussion about possible solutions to improve public engagement in clinical trials.
