PEER-ProTECT Study Neal Dickert, MD, PhD Emory University School of Medicine Co-authors: Victoria Mah, MPH Rebecca Pentz, PhD
PEER-ProTECT • Population= 85 enrollees/surrogates in ProTECT III • Methods= Telephone interviews conducted by central contractor • 12 sites participating • Structured, interactive interview guide adapted from PEER RAMPART study • Allow participants to develop views • Allow insight into participants’ understanding of questions/issues
PEER-ProTECT • Different parent study from RAMPART • Placebo-controlled vs. active control • Promising preliminary data; potential benefit • Existing treatment is poor • High mortality and major morbidity • Wide range of sites • Greater interview standardization
Interview Guide Domains • Prior research experience and attitude toward research • Knowledge of the study • Views on having been included in the study • Views on acceptability of EFIC in research- in this study and in general • Views on placebo • Views on randomization • Views on conversations with investigators/study staff • Views on community consultation • Impact of public disclosure • Trust in researchers and in clinical research • Demographics and medical background
Other Findings • Substantially better understanding of the study than PEER-RAMPART • Many people felt they were enrolled under surrogate consent • Because consent was obtained very early • Reasons for negative views were very similar to PEER-RAMPART
Summary • Acceptance as high or higher than most CC • CC does not appear to overestimate acceptance • Surveys may significantly underestimate • Real questions about understanding in CC • Open question how much is enough • Again illustrates that engaging people in discussion about EFIC is challenging • Very positive interactions with study staff. This makes a difference!
