Human-centered design role in clinical trials with Bruce Hellman and Ben James
Clinical Trial Podcast | Conversations with Clinical Research Experts
In this episode, we explore the role of design in clinical trials. Most clinical research professionals are so focused on protocol design, data collection, and analysis that it’s easy to overlook the importance of well-designed technology that supports clinical trials. One such technology product is electronic Patient Reported Outcomes or ePROs. ePROs are surveys that are presented to and completed by clinical trial participants as part of the study requirements. To learn more about ePROs and the role of design in clinical trials, I invited Bruce Hellman and Ben James on the Clinical...

Clinical Trial Site Networks with Christian Burns
Clinical Trial Podcast | Conversations with Clinical Research Experts
There are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to being a standalone clinical trial site. Standalone clinical trial sites enjoy the freedom of running their own operations. But they may face challenges with executing some parts of a clinical trial. This is where site networks come in. For example, a site can run more efficient marketing campaigns, be more systematic in its clinical trial operations, or share patient recruitment and retention resources by being part of a site network. To learn more about site networks, I invited Christian Burns, President of Elligo...

info_outlineMy guest for this interview is Rebecca Matthews, Chief Clinical Operations Officer at Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Public Benefit Corporation.
In this interview, Rebecca shares with us what it takes to conduct clinical trials investigating the use of MDMA, a psychedelic drug, in conjunction with psychotherapy to treat patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
PTSD can occur after a person experiences a significant trauma, like a sexual assault, severe physical assault, significant threat to life arising from a hate crime, natural disaster, war, or accident. It affects people of all races, ages, and backgrounds.
As you’ll hear from Rebecca shortly, the clinical data from the recent clinical trial looks extremely promising.
This interview will leave you with excellent insights on differences and challenges of conducting research with psychedelic drugs including site selection, patient recruitment, clinical trial design considerations and more.
I am beyond excited to discuss this important topic of psychedelic research on the podcast.
Please join me in welcoming Rebecca Matthews on the Clinical Trial Podcast. Enjoy!
