Strategies to Innovate EmeRgENcy Care Clinical Trials Network SIREN
SIREN Overview SIREN will enable conduct of high-quality, multi-site clinical trials to improve the outcomes for patients with neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, hematologic and trauma emergency events. SIREN consists of: • Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) • Data Coordinating Center (DCC) • 11 Clinical Centers with affiliated satellites (Hubs and Spokes)

SIREN Overview Trans-federal collaboration Funding: NINDS, NHLBI, NCATS Consulting: OECR, CCCRP in USAMRMC/DoD • Combines resources for emergency care research across federal agencies • Draws on experience from NETT, ROC and CCCRP to combine the best features
SIREN Objectives • Network capable of supporting at least 4 concurrent large (>1,000 patients), simple pragmatic trials • In ED and pre-hospital emergency settings. • Neurological (except stroke), cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematological, trauma. • High Performance • Rapid initiation, enrollment, data base lock and analysis • Quality: expert leadership, mentorship, quality • Cost Effective: Rapid network formation, financial support related to trial performance
SIREN New Trial integrated logistics CCC: central IRB, master trial contracts, overall enrollment, recruitment plan. DCC: standardized CRFs, efficient and user friendly data collection methods, risk based monitoring, efficient data base lock. Hubs and Spokes: access to large diverse population, local enrollment and recruitment plan, strong relationship with EMS, and with specialists and subspecialists.

Pathway for New Trial • PI brings proposal to SIREN executive committee for full discussion • SIREN executive committee finds proposal suitable for SIREN network Area of study falls within NINDS Area of study falls within both NHLBI and NINDS Area of study falls within NHLBI PI applies through NINDS usual mechanism for clinical trial PI applies through NHLBI usual mechanism for clinical trial
Final NIH Policy on the Use of a Single Institutional Review Board for Multi-Site Research • sIRB is the selected IRB of record that conducts the ethical review for participating sites of the multi-site study • NOT-OD-16-094 and NOT-OD-16-109 • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-16-094.html • Guidance on how costs associated with sIRBs may be charged as direct versus indirect costs can be found in Guide Notice NOT-OD-16-109
New FOAs for Investigator-Initiated Phase II and Above Multi-site Clinical Trials (PAR-16-300 and PAR-16-301) - Frequently Asked Questions January 18, 2017 • https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/research/funding/new-foas-investigator-initiated-phase-ii-and-above-multi-site-clinical-trials-par-16-300-and-par-16 • The NIH requirement for a single IRB on studies it funds applies to all competing grant applications (new, renewal, revision, or resubmission) with receipt dates on or after May 25, 2017. • Ongoing, non-competing awards will not be expected to comply with this policy until the grantee submits a competing renewal application. The NHLBI FOAs for multi-site clinical trials will be updated in the future to reflect the new requirement and its effective date. • In the meantime, applicants may consider the use of a single IRB in advance of this policy’s effective date.
