DCRI principal investigators lead the clinical and data coordinating centers for a new study that will evaluate a model of care that centers on non-pharmacological treatment options.

A new consortium called the CardioHealth Alliance will bring together a multi-disciplinary group of experts to improve the care and health of patients across cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases. The alliance, which was established by leaders from the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) and the Stanford Center for Clinical Research (SCCR), welcomes Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Novartis”) as a founding member and initial funding partner and invites clinicians, patients, data scientists, health care leaders, and policy makers to partner to improve disease care pathways and expedite the implementation of evidence into practice.

An ancillary study found improvements in a composite heart failure quality score after patients used a mobile app to help them manage their heart failure.

The trial, which was terminated early due to slow enrollment and low number of events, did not conclusively show whether different modes of a common treatment for prostate cancer were associated wi

Research conducted remotely presents a number of benefits to clinical research—along with unique challenges.

Web and phone-based enrollment allows people anywhere in the United States diagnosed with COVID-19 as outpatients to help test potential COVID-19 treatments without leaving home.

A “validity argument” approach takes into account that the context of each trial is different and attempts to overcome barriers historically associated with measuring and reporting patient-reported

Despite a surge in community cases in winter 2020, within-school transmission remained low, with most transmission within high schools occurring in school-sponsored sports. New data analyzed and published by the DCRI-led ABC Science Collaborative sheds new light on school safety during a COVID-19 surge and reinforces the message that masking is an effective strategy to mitigate within-school transmission.

DCRI Executive Director Adrian Hernandez, MD, MHS, and co-authors recently published a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine advocating for new ways to incentivize health care systems t

Top scientists and physicians from the ABC Science Collaborative have shared insights from North Carolina schools, coupled with a science-based blueprint for all schools to resume full, in-person instruction safely. A new report issued today by the DCRI-led ABC Science Collaborative shows that North Carolina schools were highly successful in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 within school buildings and offers science-based learnings for the nation’s schools to limit COVID-19 spread.
