What are the Regulatory and Ethical Concerns of Integrating Care and Research?

In this discussion, CRAACO co-chair, Katherine Vandebelt, Chief Ecosystem Officer, Reify Health, Inc, and Alison Bateman-House, PhD, MPH, MA, Assistant Professor Division of Medical Ethics, NYU Langone Health, consider what lines are being drawn in the integration of clinical care and clinical research. More specifically:

• Research and care or treatment are separate spheres in the regulatory and ethical worlds. What happens when they are brought together?
• Are there ethical barriers that need to be overcome to allow clinical research to be offered as an option as part of clinical care?
• What are the ethical issues that surround offering a patient the opportunity to consider enrolling in a clinical trial?
• What current efforts are underway to address these issues?

This session was presented at the Clinical Research as a Care Option (CRAACO) meeting in April 2018 in Cambridge, MA.

The 2019 CRAACO conference will take place April 29-30, 2019 in Raleigh-Durham, NA. Learn more here.
