Observational Pharmaco-Epidemiology Research & Analysis

Study Purpose

Greater advances are needed in two separate but related areas in healthcare: 1) the Clinical Decision Support Systems that complement the EHR use in support of routine patient care, population management and disease management; and 2) the use of the point-of-care observational data from the provider-patient encounter that support realworld medical research and healthcare quality measure assessment. Real-world evaluations of treatments of chronic diseases in the context of comorbid conditions and special populations (minorities, women, mentally ill, and those with addiction) are limited. The purpose of the OPERA database is to help address this unmet need in clinical research.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where 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.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03813862
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Objectives of OPERA. 1. To research numerous chronic diseases (HIV, HCV, HBV currently and IBD and RA in the near future, with others as identified for further consideration) utilizing the OPERA® longitudinal database that consists of de-identified EHR data from numerous clinical practices in a variety of settings (e.g. solo practitioners, small groups, and hospitals). Research will be ongoing and yield numerous individual analyses and reports that are authored by epidemiologists, practicing physicians, pharmaco-economists, and other researchers and will target scientific conferences and peer-reviewed medical journals for dissemination. 2. To use epidemiological, statistical, and data analysis methods and related research findings to deliver a sophisticated healthcare analytics reporting solution (CHORUS™) to clinicians.† 3. To enhance patient population management as well as disease management capabilities of the practicing physician. 4. To provide anonymous, nation-wide benchmarking of quality measures and key performance indicators (KPI) for medical clinics. 5. To enhance patient engagement with their physicians to deliver better health outcomes. 6. To evaluate whether engagement in care by patients with their physicians results in better outcomes for patients with chronic illness.
