This three-day intensive seeks to provide a foundation in practical aspects involving the conduct of randomized clinical trials in palliative care. It is designed for early career researchers or other mid-career researchers and health professionals interested in developing competence in the planning, design, and execution of randomized clinical trials. Instruction will include a combination of focused lectures, demonstrations, individual and group consultations with experts in the field, and small group work.
Please note that in the context of COVID-19, the next Clinical Trials Intensive will be a virtual one.
The curriculum will enable participants to:
- Describe the principles underlying the conduct of unbiased clinical trials.
- Identify the unique challenges posed by clinical trials conducted in persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregivers.
- Evaluate RCT designs in terms of their appropriateness for ADRD populations and their caregivers.
- Select appropriate strategies for enrollment, randomization, and retention.
- Understand methods for monitoring, coordinating, and conducting clinical trials in PWD and their caregivers.
- Develop basic strategies for appropriate statistical analyses.
- Design a dementia palliative care clinical trial with your working group.
- Better understand the process used in NIH Study Sections to review clinical trials.
- Work with an interdisciplinary team to design a project.
