    Abstract Background: Whereas anecdotal reports suggest that the use of decentralized clinical trial (DCT) solutions can improve participant diversity in clinical trials there is no quantitative evidence to support such reports.
    Methods: Tufts CSDD conducted this initial study based on data collected from prior research and publicly available data drawn from Clinicaltrials.gov to compare and contrast participant diversity in trials which included various DCT solutions - virtual visits or televisits, home visits, devices or wearables, and the use of local labs.
    Results: The results of this analysis indicate that the use of local labs is associated with a lower percentage of white participants; the use of virtual visits or televisits is associated with a lower percentage of Black participants; and the use of devices or wearables was not associated with any significant change in participant demographics. The use of home visits could not be tested for significant differences.

    Abstract To better understand the nature of Non-Core procedures and derive new insight into protocol simplification and optimization, Tufts CSDD collaborated with the FDA and sponsor companies to assess alignment on the rationale for collecting, and relevance of, Non-Core protocol data. Twelve sponsor companies classified and rated 700 distinct procedures from 19 pivotal trials supporting new drug and biologics approvals. FDA reviewers classified and rated 80 distinct procedures for three of the 19 pivotal trials. The results of this assessment indicate areas of alignment and misalignment. Sponsors and FDA reviewers agreed on the classification for more than half of endpoints. However, FDA reviewers classified a much higher percentage of procedures as Non-Core (26% vs. 18%) with the largest proportion (50%) of these procedures perceived as Core by sponsor companies. Sponsors indicated that one-out-of-six Non-Core procedures were administered due to perceived regulatory requirement and expectation. The results of this study characterize the challenge in aligning the different-and potentially conflicting-imperatives of sponsors and regulators and speak to the importance of more effective FDA-sponsor communication to help simplify protocol designs.

    Abstract Reaction times and error rates to a target's identity are impaired when the target is presented in a location that mismatches the response required, relative to situations where the location of the target and required response overlap (the Simon effect) and the same is true when the target's identity conveys spatial information (the spatial Stroop effect). Prior studies have found that visual versions of the spatial Stroop effect are magnified when alerting cues appear before the target and results are consistent with a dual-route framework where alerting cues boost automatic stimulus-response motor associations through the direct processing route. However, the influence of alerting signals on auditory versions of the spatial Stroop effect have not been tested and there are reasons to believe that the alerting-congruency interaction may differ across stimulus modality. In two experiments the effects of alerting cues on auditory (Experiment 1; N = 98) and visual (Experiment 2; N = 97) spatial Stroop effects are examined. Results show that alerting cues boost the spatial Stroop effect with visual stimuli but not auditory stimuli and a distributional analysis provides support for there being modality differences in the decay (or inhibition) of response-code activation. Implications for explanations of the alerting-congruence interaction are discussed.

    Abstract Background: The drug development industry's focus on cancer-related treatments continues to rise, with narrow patient populations and complex procedures increasing the complexity of oncology protocols at an accelerated rate compared to non-oncology drugs. Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development utilized data from a study investigating the impact of protocol amendments to compare how oncology clinical trials differ from non-oncology and identify opportunities to optimize performance in oncology clinical trials.
    Methods: Sixteen drug development industry companies contributed data from 950 protocols and 2,188 amendments to a study conducted in 2022 investigating protocol amendments. Analysis compared differences in amendment impact and causes between 249 oncology and 701 non-oncology protocols.
    Results: Compared to non-oncology, oncology protocols had a significantly higher prevalence (72.1% and 91.1%, respectively) and number (3.0 and 4.0, respectively) of protocol amendments. Oncology protocols with amendments had significantly lower participant completion rates compared to oncology protocols without amendments, while no significant differences were found among non-oncology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the study found an increased number of substantial amendments, lower completion rates, and higher dropout rates among oncology protocols compared to before the pandemic.
    Conclusions: Efforts to prevent avoidable protocol amendments in the industry have not been effective in oncology, where increasingly complex designs are reflected in difficult to predict cycle times, barriers to recruitment and retention and an increase in protocol amendments.
