The goal is to foster teamwork across research and clinical care at a time when there aren\u2019t any proven therapies for COVID-19, according to Tom Buchanan, MD, vice dean for research at the Keck School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, every treatment is experimental; clinical care and clinical research are one in the same,\u201d Buchanan said. \u201cThe prioritization process will allow the Keck School and Keck Medicine to make efficient and informed decisions about treatments to pursue in clinical trials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the memo, investigators across USC who are looking to conduct research at sites governed by the USC Biomedical Institutional Review Board (IRB) and involving patients with, or are at risk for, COVID-19 or their biospecimens must submit their requests to the COVID Clinical Research Prioritization Committee (CCRPC) through the COVID-19 Proposal Submission Portal. Submission to the committee should occur before submission to the IRB. Protocols that use a central IRB must be submitted to the CCPRC as well, ideally before submission to the central IRB but ultimately before they can be considered for implementation.<\/p>\n<p>The CCRPC will evaluate the research proposals for scientific merit, potential benefit to patients, operational feasibility (including funding) and competing studies. Each proposal will receive a letter from the CCRPC indicating whether it should be prioritized for further consideration. The IRB will only review protocols that the CCRPC recommends for prioritization. The IRB submission for those protocols must include the prioritization letter.<\/p>\n<p>The memo was signed by Buchanan; April Armstrong, MD, MPH, associate dean for clinical research and co-chair of the COVID clinical research committee; Michael Bowdish, MD, chair of biomedical research IRB; and Darcy Spicer, MD, co-chair of the COVID clinical research committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe realize that this is not business as usual, but these are unusual times,\u201d the memo stated. \u201cOur health systems are severely stressed. Our patients and our society desperately need organized, coordinated, high-quality research to identify treatments that can improve health outcomes for patients infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Melissa Masatani<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":168,"featured_media":3126,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[163,20],"class_list":["post-3125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release","tag-covid-19-news","tag-research"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
