| Research Abstract |
Clinical trials require large numbers of participants followed over long periods of time, as well as a large amount of money and labor, especially in lifestyle-related diseases or other cardiovascular diseases.
The results of many studies, particularly those with negative findings are not published. This tendency is particularly true of those sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Consequently, the findings are not available to the medical community or the general public, even if the data is useful. This situation has recently led to compulsory clinical trials registration in overseas countries. In Japan, several web sites for registration of clinical studies begin to emerge as well. On these web sites, information about clinical studies is supposed to be fairly provided, regardless of the negative or positive findings.
Considering the above situation, we conducted the following in this research project.
1)We have developed a web-accessible database for registration of clinical trial designs, which enables basic information about clinical trials to be provided fairly to healthcare professionals and the public.
2)We have set up a web site that introduces about 250 published clinical trials included in the Summary of Clinical Studies in Cardiovascular Diseases edited by Ryozo Nagai. Text mining capabilities have been added to the system with keyword searches.
3)In addition to authentication system using user IDs and passwords, we have studied about the adoption of fingerprint authentication techniques for registration and log management in the both web site to strengthen security of information system. We have also investigated the possibility of introduction of the techniques in actual clinical trials.
It is believed that fingerprint authentication systems are necessary in conducting clinical trials in the future in terms of both security and user-friendliness.
