  3. Drug to drug interac6ons A trial where the treatment assignment is not known by the study par6cipant because of the use of placebo or other methods of masking the interven6on: but the study team knows Single blind A new study is inves6ga6ng a new ind "glue" that can be used to hold skin cuts together and decrease the chance of scaring. You know children should be included because ich e8 considers them a special popula6on. In designing the protocol you should expect to Include children in the general plan from the beginning Per ich e8: methods used to evaluate pa6ent usage of the test drug should be Specified in the protocol and actual usage documented

Which trial design is used for the specific purpose of examining the interac6on of a and b? Factorial design T or f- the data and safety monitoring board (dsmb) is a separate en6ty from an ins6tu6onal review board (irb) or an independent ethics commiOee (iec)?

This is known as Generaliza6on The inves6gator at your site asked you to review a protocol. The inves6ga6onal product listed in the protocol already has proven clinical benefits for the disease under study. This is considered what type of trial? Confirmatory trial You are designing a cross-over study. Cross-over designs have a number of problems that can invalidate their results.

Carryover effect Missing data points (values) represent a poten6al source of bias in a clinical trial. (true or false) True What study variable takes in the considera6on the decision making process of the trea6ng physician: who must weigh benefit and risk in making product use decisions.

Global assessment variable True or false- you are working on a phase 1 clinical trial. The sponsor tells you that the study will be carried out in three different research centers. Mul6- center trials can be carried out at any stage of clinical development. True You are helping your inves6gator write a protocol for a new combina6on of drugs for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Since this is an inves6gator ini6ated study you know you will need to establish a/an Independent data monitoring commiOee When wri6ng an early phase clinical study plan which of the following do you want to pay aOen6on to if you wish to maximize the chance of observing specific clinical effects of interest? The target popula6on True or false- all new medica6ons should have generated data on the use in the pediatric popula6on? False True or false- medicinal products may affect physical and cogni6ve growth and development: and the adverse event profile may differ in pediatric pa6ents. True What is it called when a child is given informa6on about a trial and asked if he or she wishes to par6cipate? Assent T or f- although ini6al safety and tolerability data is usually obtained in adult trials: some products may reasonably be studied only in the pediatric popula6on even in the ini6al phases (e.g.: when studies in adults would yield liOle useful informa6on or expose them to inappropriate risk). True

T or f- pharmacokine6c phase 1 studies in the pediatric popula6on are generally conducted in healthy pediatric subjects. False T or f- pharmacokine6c studies in the pediatric popula6on are generally conducted in pa6ents with the disease.

  4. Minimize distress During clinical development: the 6ming of pediatric studies will depend on
  5. Medicinal produc
  6. Type of disease being treated
  7. Safety considera6ons
  8. Efficacy and safety of alterna6ve treatments What does ich e11 say about long-term surveillance of children in clinical trials? It may be needed to determine the possible effects on development When each subject is randomized to a sequence of two or more treatments and hence acts as their own control for treatment comparisons Crossover When subjects are randomized to 1 of 2 or more arms: each arm being allocated a different treatment. Each treatment will include their

inves6ga6onal product at one or more doses: and one or more control treatments: such as placebo and/or an ac6ve comparator Parallel A sponsor is developing an ip for treatment of a medical condi6on where there is one addi6onal marketed product approved for treatment of the condi6on.
