(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2018-05-08)
BACKGROUND: Women who have been treated for breast cancer may identify vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flushes and night sweats (HFNS), as a serious problem. HFNS are unpleasant to experience and can have a significant ...
Conducting non-commercial international clinical trials: the ICR-CTSU experience.
(BMC, 2017-09-26)
BACKGROUND: Academic clinical trials play a fundamental role in the development of new treatments, the repurposing of existing treatments and in addressing areas of unmet clinical need. With cancer treatments increasingly ...
Young adults: a unique group in cancer epidemiological research.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)
The Adaptive designs CONSORT Extension (ACE) statement: a checklist with explanation and elaboration guideline for reporting randomised trials that use an adaptive design.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-17)
Adaptive designs (ADs) allow pre-planned changes to an ongoing trial without compromising the validity of conclusions and it is essential to distinguish pre-planned from unplanned changes that may also occur. The reporting ...
Reporting quality of CONSORT flow diagrams in published early phase dose-finding clinical trial reports: Improvement is needed.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-08-01)
BACKGROUND: This project aims to: (1) assess the completeness of information in flow diagrams of published early phase dose-finding (EPDF) trials based on CONSORT recommendations, and if additional features on dose ...
