What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the enrollment and completion of clinical trials for extremely preterm infants at the Sharp Neonatal Research Institute. The institute aims to leverage its high patient volume and experienced clinical trialists to recruit diverse high-risk neonates into ongoing and future trials. By integrating neonatal research into clinical care, the team can obtain consent from parents around the clock, ensuring a robust participant pool. The research will also address the unique needs of the local population, which includes a significant percentage of Hispanic families.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation are extremely preterm infants, particularly those born in the Sharp Neonatal Research Institute's NICU.
Not a fit: Patients who are not extremely preterm or those who do not require NICU care may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved clinical outcomes for extremely preterm infants through better-designed trials and more effective treatments.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in improving clinical trial enrollment and outcomes for neonatal populations, indicating that this approach has potential.
