Book Description

Building on the techniques used in clinical trials of pharmaceuticals, this book summarizes for the first time the key principles and approaches to be used in medical device clinical trials, and then demonstrates implementation of these principles in a revealing series of detailed, real-world case studies. The highly experienced contributors show how to design and evaluated clinical trials of medical defvices, as well as collect data that is acceptable to the FDA. Nine detailed case studies illustrate the wide range of study designs that have been successfully applied to many different research problems and a variety of therapeutic or diagnostic products. Clinical Evaluation of Medical Devices provides today's only source of case-study-based practical information on how clinical study design principles are best tailored to the successful evaluation of medical devices.

This book serves as a technical resource for scientific and regulatory professionals working in the field of new medical device development and commercialization. Chapters cover the basic principles of clinical study design and analysis, (including protocol requirements, selecting suitable endpoints, selecting a control group, sample size calculations, monitoring, data analysis, and presentation); and those describing research approaches on different classes of such devices as implanted devices and in vitro diagnostics.

Book Description

Clinical Trials in Cancer provides concise, accessible and practical information on the practicalities of planning, designing, conducting, analysing, reporting, and interpreting phase III clinical trials predominantly, but also single-arm and randomized phase II trials. The book shows clearly how recent developments and current thinking can be implemented. Information on the need to decide and measure realistic target differences in trials, the conduct and interpretation of interim analyses, patient advocacy, good clinical practice, the study of quality of life, the role of meta-analyses, and informed consent and other ethical issues are also covered. This book will prove invaluable for medical, statistical, and biological cancer researchers, health care professionals, and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry. Trial sponsors, principal investigators, members of data monitoring and trial supervisory committees, specialists invited to provide independent assessments, and many others involved in all aspects of research related to clinical trials should also find this book helpful.

Book Description

In the past few years, the number of applications of tracers for in vivo biomedical studies has greatly increased. New analytical tools at the genetic and protein levels have spurred this growth, opening the door for a deeper understanding of metabolic events. This in turn promises to yield significant advances in the understanding and treatment of human disease.

Now fully revised and expanded, Isotope Tracers in Metabolic Research, Second Edition is the established definitive text on stable and radioactive isotope tracers. In unique, multidisciplinary fashion, it presents comprehensive coverage of new methodological, mathematical, and theoretical approaches.

This new Second Edition includes:

All-new chapters on nuclear magnetic resonance, mass isotopomer analysis, and methods of protein metabolism analysis
A completely updated categorized list of over 750 references
Major advances in the development of mass isotopomer and positional isotopomer techniques, noninvasive isotope techniques for studying metabolic pathways, hyphenated techniques, and new tracer techniques
The latest developments in quantification of DNA synthesis and mass spectrometry spurred by genome sequencing and proteomics
New coverage of mathematical modeling
Expanded coverage of microdialysis probes, laboratory procedures, and regulatory issues related to human studies

Book Description

This unique textbook integrates statistical concepts into evidence-based clinical practice and patient management. Research concepts and techniques are drawn from epidemiology, bio-statistics, and psychometrics, as well as educational and social science research. Clinical examples throughout the text illustrate practical and scientifically sound applications of the concepts. Data tables and research vignettes highlight statistical distributions involving probability. Methods to locate and utilize web-based information relevant to clinical research are discussed, and web URLs are provided. Further learning is encouraged by the inclusion of suggested activities, recommended readings, references, and a comprehensive glossary of research terms. Additional resources are available at a Connection Website, connection.LWW.com/go/stommel.

IPPCR NIH Required Text.......2006-11-10

I purchased this textbook as its is required for participants in the NIH Introduction to Principles and Practice of Clinical Research. Overall a huge disappointment, overpriced, and overall only scantly relevant to the lecture series for which it is the required text.
New edition pending, save your money; purchased this or the previous edition. Preferably used.
