Five Things You Need to Know about NIH StrokeNet in Five Minutes Joseph P. Broderick, MD Department of Neurology University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute Comprehensive Stroke Center
Financial Disclosures Study medication for NINDS studies from Genentech (two trials) and Schoering- Plough/Merck (one). Research monies from Genentech for PRISMS Trial Executive Committee Travel to Australian stroke conference paid for by Boerhinger Ingelheim

1) The NIH StrokeNet is Something New for U.S. National Network that includes stroke prevention, acute treatment, and recovery trials. Multi-site Phase 1 to Phase 3 Trials, biomarkers studies. Centralized infrastructure for contracts, IRBs, managing data, and running trials. Big 25 regional centers and over 200 associated hospitals thus far.

2) Trial Protocols Can Come From Within and Outside of NIH StrokeNet Process includes Submission of formal trial proposal to NINDS Assessment of feasibility (multiple aspects) by NIH StrokeNet NIH review and eventual approval Opportunity to minimize competition between trials and develop pipeline for rapidly starting new trials Balance of Acute, Prevention, and Recovery Trials Industry encouraged need NIH review RFA for types of trials best suited for NINDS strategic goals and NIH StrokeNet Spring, 2014.
3) Education is Key Component of NIH StrokeNet Educational Core Funding for fellows at each RCC. Educational for fellows, coordinators, and physicians who are part of network. Formal lectures, interactive sessions, and training for a given trial.
4) Large Trials Run Through Network Will Likely Need More Sites than RCCs and Satellites Hospitals not affiliated with RCC Other non-us national networks (example Canada) participating in global trials Based upon needed sample size and availability of potential trial subjects
International Networks Are Needed for Large Phase III Trials
5) NIH StrokeNet Structure Has Just Started and Is Evolving Getting Master Trial Agreements and Reliance Agreements for cirb approved Governance structure as Data Management Center at Medical University at South Carolina is integrated Website Initial trials to be done are under discussion
