CRA practical software gadget-Institute of Medicine (old version)

~ if you want to do something well, you must sharpen your tools first ~

Function one

Remind the doctor to avoid going out of the window or missing the doctor.

Little z is CRA. At present, several projects have entered the enrollment period, and the follow-up time design of each project is not the same. Then, in the case of more and more recruits, how can we ensure that we can clearly remember the follow-up time of each subject, and remind researchers or CRC to make preparations for the contact or follow-up of subjects in advance? Of course, there are many ways. The most stupid way is to make an Excel form, set a timer label and set a calendar reminder, but the most convenient way to use it now is to remind the subjects in the Drug Research Institute app.

? ? For example, the following two animations are the easiest to create a project, V 1 is 14 3 days, and V2 is 30 7 days:

It's not over yet. Importantly, after the above operations are completed, the subjects will be notified by SMS for free 7 days and 3 days before follow-up! Of course, we can also take the initiative to enter my schedule on the subject's medical reminder page to check the latest follow-up plan ~

There is also a function of accessing the window calculator, which is also very convenient for people like Xiao Z who are not good at math and can't tell which month is 28 days, which month is 30 days and which month is 3 1 day. Very simple, enter the start date, end date and whether the end date is included, and the number of days will be automatically calculated ~

In addition, in the follow-up template function, you can create a follow-up template for inspection items according to the corresponding items, and the edited follow-up template can be shared with researchers with one click. On WeChat, researchers will never miss the inspection again ~

Function 2

How many clinical trials is PI responsible for? Is there competition?

In our preliminary investigation or evaluation visit to the research center, the most important question is, how many projects are there in the center's potential PI at present? Is there a competitive test?

So how to query? Yes, you can consult PI in person, but sometimes PI is very busy at work, sometimes he can't remember clearly or his answer is biased. Then you can also go to CDE official website to inquire, but all the inquiries are made by the scientific research personnel of the leader unit.

? Then the following method may be a good supplement to the above two methods, that is, using the nearest function in the drug research institute:

For example, in the following example, we searched Huang Xiaojun, a teacher at Peking University People's Hospital. After paying attention, you can learn some basic information about pi. Currently in charge of 12 clinical trial. The clinic hours are Monday and Thursday afternoon, and there are anonymous voting and comments below.

Function three

Judgment and evaluation of adverse events

? Mobile CT CAE: CT CAE is generally used to record, judge and evaluate adverse events in tumor clinical trials, but it has actually gone beyond the scope of tumors at present, and the judgment and evaluation of AE in other clinical trial schemes have been followed or used for reference;

The tool of Institute for Drug Research is embedded with CTCAE, and the retrieval field contains all 26 system organ classifications, which is convenient for viewing the name, definition and grade of AE in each system organ classification.

The only deficiency is that the old version is still version 4.03, not the latest version 5.0.

Function four

Previous, Combined and Disabled Drug Use Queries

Drug use is also an important point in the monitoring process. We can check the past and combined drugs, judge the related combined diseases, and judge whether it is a banned drug in the scheme. However, in the actual process of monitoring doctor's orders, we will find that there are many drug names that we don't know, or some are trade names, some are generic names, and some are complex Chinese medicine names.

? The following animation shows the function of drug name analysis in drug research institute. It's simple. One-click query can know the generic name, trade name, English name, indication and classification of drugs. Is it much more convenient and professional than Du Niang's inquiry? ~

Function five

Interpretation of abnormal test indexes

Abnormal explanations of examination indexes in Institute of Medicine include: general blood test 12, blood biochemistry 46, cerebrospinal fluid 14, immunology 24, semen 12, hormone 24, urine 16, pathogen 17, and feces. Each index has an introduction, a normal range and an explanation of clinical significance.

Although we will collect the normal range of the laboratory, the checklist will automatically mark the inspection values beyond the normal range, and researchers will also judge whether the abnormal values have clinical significance, but it is inevitable that some researchers are not serious or make mistakes. Although CRA can't participate in direct medical judgment, we should be skeptical in the monitoring process and can question the judgment results of researchers on the checklist. At this time, the function of this function in drug research institute is reflected. We can check the inconsistent problems found or consult the researchers. It's also a way to strike up a conversation and increase communication ~ Maybe researchers will look at you differently ~

Function six

TNM staging query

The TNM staging system of each tumor is different, and the letters and numbers in TNM staging have different meanings in different tumors. After T, N, M in T, N, M stages are determined, the corresponding total stages can be obtained, that is, stage I, stage II, stage III, stage IV and so on. Sometimes it can be subdivided into IIa or IIIb by letters.

The TNM staging function of Institute of Medicine provides staging query of 10 tumor types, which basically covers all tumor types. According to the meaning of letters and numbers in different tumors, it is convenient to view staging in sequence or reverse order.

Function seven

Inquire about the contact information of institutional ethics

There are many ways to query the contact information of institutional ethics, and this function is also embedded in the Institute of Medicine. You can directly search the hospital name for query, or you can add and update your own contact information to choose ~

Function eight

Check laws and policies at any time.

In the supervision function of the Institute of Medicine, some guiding principles such as revised GCP, ICH-GCP in Chinese and English, anti-tumor, paediatrics, anti-bacteria, vaccines, etc. are embedded, which is convenient to take out the mobile phone for inquiry anytime and anywhere, but there is no directory option and search option. If the content of the query is in the text or at the end of the text, it is not convenient.

Function nine

Find a test

The Institute of Medicine also provides the function of finding experiments. According to the names of drugs or diseases, you can search some clinical trials currently in progress, and you can query some basic information of the clinical trials, such as registration number, indications, drug types, drug names, trial topics, information of sponsors, and clinical trial information, such as trial purpose, inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, experimental drugs, control drugs and end-point indicators. You can try to search if you are interested ~

Only when each software tool is suitable for your own use and mastered skillfully can you get twice the result with half the effort in your own monitoring process. Never use software just to use it. In addition, what software or gadgets have you used to improve efficiency and save time in your daily work or study? You can reply and share in the comments.
