Working Group on Clinical Trials
The Working Group on Clinical Trials (WGCT) was established in 1988 as a forum for investigators to present preliminary protocols for proposed studies so that they could obtain useful feedback from their colleagues. Regular attendees of the meetings, which are held approximately twice per month, include members of both the Department of Neurology and the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, many of whom possess a great deal of experience in clinical research. A typical session involves presentation of the scientific background and rationale of a study, leading to a focused discussion of design issues. The atmosphere is informal and discussion is encouraged so that both the speaker and the audience benefit greatly from the meetings.
In addition to preliminary protocols, many other topics are appropriate for discussion at the working group meetings. These include, but are not limited to data management techniques, patient recruitment, rating scale development, reliability of measurement, epidemiologic surveys, ethical issues, grant preparation strategies, trial monitoring, academia/industry relationships in medical research, innovative statistical designs, and presentation of interesting trial updates or results. Occasionally, guest speakers from inside or outside the University are invited to give their perspectives on certain aspects of clinical trials or present their own research. A general goal of the meetings is to promote awareness of the principles of good clinical trial design and management.
