Defining a clinical trial

NIH's Definition of a Clinical Trial A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes

A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes Prospectively assigned Pre-defined process (e.g., randomization) specified in an approved protocol that stipulates the assignment of research subjects (individually or in clusters) to one or more arms (e.g., intervention, placebo, or other control) of a clinical trial Intervention Manipulation of the subject or subject’s environment for the purpose of modifying one or more health-related biomedical or behavioral processes and/or endpoints Examples: Drugs/small molecules/compounds; biologics; devices; procedures (e.g., surgical techniques); delivery systems (e.g., telemedicine, face-to-face interviews); strategies to change health-related behavior (e.g., diet, cognitive therapy, exercise, development of new habits); treatment strategies; prevention strategies; and diagnostic strategies Health-related biomedical or behavioral outcome Pre-specified goal(s) or condition(s) that reflect the effect of one or more interventions on human subjects’ biomedical or behavioral status or quality of life Examples: Positive or negative changes to physiological or biological parameters (e.g., improvement of lung capacity, gene expression); positive or negative changes to psychological or neurodevelopmental parameters (e.g., mood management intervention for smokers; reading comprehension and /or information retention); positive or negative changes to disease processes; positive or negative changes to health-related behaviors; and positive or negative changes to quality of life.

NIH interpretation of a clinical trial

Clinical trial versus clinical research Does the study involve human participants? Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the participants? Is the effect being evaluated a health related biomedical or behavioral outcome?

Might be a clinical trial even if: You’re studying healthy participants Your study doesn’t have a comparison group (e.g., placebo or control) Your study is only designed to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and/or maximum tolerated dose of an investigational drug Your study is utilizing a behavioral intervention Might not be a clinical trial if study: Is intended solely to refine measures Involves secondary research with biological specimens or health information

Case studies https://grants. nih Case studies https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/case-studies.htm The study involves the recruitment of healthy adolescent volunteers followed over time to assess brain development and factors that influence brain development. Participants are administered a battery of standard measures at each visit including blood draws, surveys, various cognitive performance measures (e.g., working memory tasks), and brain scans (e.g., fMRI) to assess the association of these measures over time.

Participants are administered a battery of standard measures at each visit including blood draws, surveys, various cognitive performance measures (e.g., working memory tasks), and brain scans (e.g., fMRI) to assess the association of these measures over time. Does the study involve human participants? Yes, the healthy adolescent volunteers are human participants. Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? No, not in this context. The battery of standard measures and the brain scans are being used to describe patterns and associations over time, but not to modify them. Not a clinical trial

Case studies https://grants. nih Case studies https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/case-studies.htm The study involves patients with acute occipital stroke who are suspected of suffering visual field loss. They are randomized to a drug or to matching placebo. The investigators seek to determine whether the drug affects post-stroke changes in cortical visual representation as measured by fMRI.

Case studies https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/case-studies.htm The study involves patients with acute occipital stroke who are suspected of suffering visual field loss. They are randomized to a drug or to matching placebo. The investigators seek to determine whether the drug affects post-stroke changes in cortical visual representation as measured by fMRI. Does the study involve human participants? Yes, the participants are acute stroke patients. Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? Yes, the participants are prospectively assigned, by formal randomization, to receive a drug or placebo. Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the participants? Yes, the study is designed to determine whether the drug affects post-stroke changes in cortical visual representation. Is the effect being evaluated a health-related biomedical or behavioral outcome? Yes, cortical visual representation is a health-related biomedical outcome. Yes, a clinical trial

Case studies https://grants. nih Case studies https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/case-studies.htm The study involves the recruitment of patients prior to brain surgery. While an fMRI is performed, half of the volunteers will be randomly assigned to perform a language listening task, and half will be assigned to perform a language generation task. Brain function maps will be used by surgeons to identify language areas for surgical planning. The investigators will compare post-operative language function in the two groups.

Brain function maps will be used by surgeons to identify language areas for surgical planning. The investigators will compare post-operative language function in the two groups. Does the study involve human participants? Yes, the participants are patients enrolled prior to brain surgery. Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? Yes, the participants are prospectively assigned to an intervention, a language listening task or a language generation task during pre-operative fMRI brain function mapping. Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the participants? Yes, the study is designed to compare the impact of different methods of brain function mapping on post-operative language function. Is the effect being evaluated a health-related biomedical or behavioral outcome? Yes, post-surgery language function is a health-related outcome. Yes, a clinical trial

Case studies https://grants. nih Case studies https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/case-studies.htm Prior to a study of the effects of interference on working memory and brain function, an investigator wishes to test the study procedures and adjust the difficulty of the memory tasks for a range of individuals. To do so, the investigator runs a few healthy volunteers through the procedures and adjusts and finalizes the procedures prior to initiating the formal study

To do so, the investigator runs a few healthy volunteers through the procedures and adjusts and finalizes the procedures prior to initiating the formal study Does the study involve human participants? Yes. Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? Yes, the participants are prospectively assigned to different interference conditions. Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the participants? No, the purpose of these preliminary or practice runs is to evaluate and refine the study procedures, not the effect of the intervention on the participants. Not a clinical trial
