What this research studies

This OHSU hub links eight hospitals, 25 EMS agencies, and multiple specialist teams to bring clinical trials into emergency departments and pre-hospital care. If you come to an ED with an acute lung or other emergency condition, staff at participating sites may screen you for ongoing trials and invite you to join. The hub supports study coordination, staff training, and communication across sites to keep enrollment fast and consistent. The program plans to add regional sites and new methods to increase patient access to trials.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates are people who present to participating emergency departments or are encountered by partner EMS with acute lung injury or related emergency conditions while trials are enrolling.

Not a fit: Patients outside the hub's hospitals or whose condition does not match any active trial will likely not be offered participation or direct benefit from this network.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the hub could speed patient access to new emergency treatments and help effective therapies reach more people faster.

How similar studies have performed: The SIREN network and the OHSU hub have previously enrolled patients (OHSU enrolled 203 patients across four trials), showing this hub model has worked in practice.
