Full Description of Study (Clinical Question/ Aims/Design/Safety Data):
Type of Study:
Clinical Trial – A clinical study in which participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. The assignments are determined by the study protocol. Participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions.
Chart Review – A type of research design in which pre-recorded, patient-centered data are used to answer one or more research question
Registry – An organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves a predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purpose.
Observational – A clinical study in which participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions, but the investigator does not assign participants to specific interventions (as in a clinical trial).
Tissue Collection – The collection of any human biological specimen or byproduct obtained from an individual that is sufficient in type and quantity to permit an analysis of its physical or biochemical properties. This definition includes solid tissues, cells, cell cultures, molecules derived from tissues (DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.) and body fluids, and associated data and information.
Nursing Quality – Studies performed to support pursuit of academic degrees and/or department/committee project in the area of nursing quality improvement.
Other –
If Device Study: Pilot/Early Feasibility Pivotal Post Market
Investigational Device (If Investigational: Category A Category B)
FDA Approved for Indication
Phase of Study (for Clinical Trials): N/A
Phase I – Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase II – The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase III – The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase IV – Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug’s effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Study Activation Process
All clinical research utilizing El Camino Hospital Resources must be processed through the following workflow, which will be coordinated through the ECH Clinical Research Department. If you have questions, or to get started, contact the Director of Clinical Research at [email protected].
Step 1 – Study Interest:
Investigator will communicate initial interest to Clinical Research Department and request a Confidentiality Agreement (CDA) to facilitate delivery of study start-up packet (Protocol, Draft ICF, Draft CTA, Draft Budget, etc.). Note that only ECH authorized signatories may sign CDAs (Investigators are not authorized signatories).
Clinical Research Department will facilitate the review and negotiation of the CDA and delivery of study start-up packet to Investigator for their consideration.
Investigator will perform a comprehensive review all study start-up information.
If Investigator confirms interest, he/she shall complete a New Study Questionnaire. If Investigator is not interested in pursuing the study, he/she will notify the Clinical Research Department to terminate start-up efforts.
Step 2 – Service Line Approval:
Investigator will complete the New Study Questionnaire, sign and submit to Director of Clinical Research who will coordinate review by the appropriate ECH committee (Investigator is required to attend this meeting).
Step 3 – Clinical Research Department’s Feasibility Analysis:
The Clinical Research Department will compile a feasibility analysis to assess a high level financial impact of conducting the study.
Step 4 – Clinical Research Executive Committee:
The Clinical Research Executive Committee (COO, CMO, CFO, CSO, CNO, Chair of Nursing Research Council, Compliance Officer, and Director of Clinical Research) will review all Research proposals monthly for alignment of scientific merit, Hospital research strategy, operational impact, patient safety, and institutional risk. The committee may seek input from Hospital stakeholders as necessary in this assessment.
Investigators or their delegates are required to provide a brief presentation to support consideration of their studies by the committee during the scheduled monthly meetings (coordinated by the Director of Clinical Research).
Approval, denial or a request for additional information will be determined by the Clinical Research Executive Committee. Written notice will be provided to Investigator regarding approval status.
Step 5 – Study Start-Up (parallel processing): Once approved the following activities will begin in parallel
Contracting Budgeting IRB Submission

CTA Drafting/Negotiation
(working with operational stakeholders and escalating issues as appropriate)
Development/Negotiation
(working with operational stakeholders and escalating issues as appropriate)
Clinical Research Department will coordinate and/or prepare and submit IRB application and initiate ICF Development

No research may be conducted using El Camino Hospital Resources until full approval for commencement has been granted by the Director of Clinical Research and the IRB.
