Neuroscience Trials of the Future

On March 3-4, 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders held a workshop in Washington, DC, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss opportunities for improving the integrity, efficiency, and validity of clinical trials for nervous system disorders. Participants in the workshop represented a range of diverse perspectives, including individuals not normally associated with traditional clinical trials. The purpose of this workshop was to generate discussion about not only what is feasible now, but what may be possible with the implementation of cutting-edge technologies in the future.Table of ContentsFront Matter1 Introduction2 Neuroscience Clinical Trials: An Overview of Challenges and Potential Opportunities3 Clinical Trial Design4 Transforming Clinical Trials with Technology5 The Regulatory Landscape: International Opportunities and Challenges6 Ethical Considerations7 Improving the Evidence Base for Real-World UseAppendix A: ReferencesAppendix B: Workshop AgendaAppendix C: Registered Attendees
