SKCCC Research Pharmacy |
This core is not active in iLab. To access this core please click here:
The Research Pharmacy assists clinical research efforts in the SKCCC through a variety of integrated services. The investigational drug pharmacist works with the research team in study design, blinding methods, randomization, drug and placebo formulation, cost analysis, and inventory management. Pharmacists participate in protocol review and assist investigators in protocol development prior to submission to the SKCCC CRC (PRMS).
The pharmacy monitors all investigational trials involving drug therapy. This monitoring involves protocol review, medication preparation, drug accountability, staff/patient education and quality assurance. Pharmacists, are part of a patient care team and help the investigators by ensuring each patient's drug therapy is in compliance with the written investigational protocol. Additionally pharmacists assure that patients are not started on investigational drug therapy until patient consent has been obtained. The pharmacy monitors patient eligibility, checks dose escalation criteria for all studies, reviews or prepares standardized order forms for new studies, reviews or prepares investigational drug data sheets, reviews or prepares patient education materials and monitors patient compliance of oral investigational agents. The pharmacy participates in audits conducted by the study sponsors and the Food and Drug Administration.
The pharmacy works closely with the quality assurance and performance improvement groups of the Center and JHH Pharmacy to improve policies and operations regarding chemotherapy safety and regulatory compliance.
The Research Pharmacy has spent significant time in the development and implementation of process to assure an efficient process for the development of medication order sets for both CPOE and paper orders. The process was developed with input from the JHH Pharmacy Informatics team, the oncology pharmacy Clinical Specialist group, and designated members of the CRO. This process has been in place for about 18 months, and has required both close evaluation and modification since implementation. Additionally, these pharmacists work with the research team in developing and reviewing all order sets for patients receiving therapy on a clinical trial.
The Research Pharmacy provides both informal and formal education for all pharmacy personnel that provide pharmaceutical care for individuals on clinical trials at the SKCCC. The Research Pharmacy staff has worked with the JHH Oncology Pharmacy team to determine educational needs regarding clinical trials, investigational drug services and oncology drug development. Educations strategies have included development of a staff newsletter to provide written information regarding new clinical trials or changes in processes for the Research Pharmacy. Education is presented to the staff as a collaborated effort with the Research Pharmacy staff and the JHH Oncology Pharmacy staff. These efforts have initially focused on pharmacist members of the team, but is currently expanding to the technical staff.
