FolATED Trial: Member of the Trial Management Group of this multi-centre randomised
controlled trial evaluating the benefits of augmentating the treatment of depression
with folic acid. Design and development of extensive IT system to fully control the
trial including patient referral system, capture of patient interview data, patient
screening system, trial administration and appointments booking system, drug allocation
and patient randomisation system, collation of data for analysis and GP letters system.
The trial management system developed allowed the trial to operate as a “paperless”
Trial. University of Wales, Bangor; University of Wales, Swansea and three NHS Trusts
in Wales.
COGNATE Trial: Member of the Trial Management Group of this multi-centre randomised
controlled trial evaluating the benefits of endoscopic ultrasound in the treatment
of cancer of the oesophagus or gastricus. Design and development of extensive IT
system to fully control the trial including capture of patient interview data, patient
screening system, patient randomisation system and collation of data for analysis.
Because of this IT system the trial was considered to be the first “paperless” trial
of its kind in the UK. University of Wales, Bangor; Grampian University Hospitals
HHS Trust and 10 other NHS Trusts throughout England and Scotland.
COGNATE Quality Assurance: Design and development of IT system to monitor quality
of endoscopic ultrasound procedures performed in various hospitals throughout the
UK as part of the above trial. Adaptation of web based video streaming system and
web conferencing system to allow UK-wide medical conferences live on the web to review
videos of endoscopic ultrasound procedures.
North Wales Organisation for Randomised Trials in Health (NWORTH): Design and development
of generic randomisation system for use in randomised controlled trials. The GRand
System controls remote randomisations for multi-centre trials. Typically taking only
a few hours to set up for any trial, it allows randomised allocation into four groups,
up to four stratifications of data and has the capacity to cater for unlimited research
centres and patient participants.
Peri Trial: A multi-centre randomised, controlled trial of the psychoneuroimmunological
effects of relaxation therapy and guided imagery in colorectal cancer. Design and
development of participant randomisation and record keeping system. University of
Wales, Bangor; University of Hull and University of Wales, Swansea.
