New Protocol for CPDR Database Receives IRB Approval
January 5, 2005
This protocol governs the use of the entire clinical database and replaced the protocol that was in place for several years. This new protocol for the CPDR Clinical Database is currently under review at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and the only non-military CPDR site, Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. The protocol has been approved at the following sites:
USUHS October 2004
Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC) November 2004
Eisenhower Army Medical Center (EAMC) November 2004
Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth (NMCP) November 2004
Naval Medical Center, San Diego (NMCSD) December 2004
National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) December 2004
Malcolm Grow Medical Center (MGMC) December 2004
Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) January 2005
Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC) January 2005
The CPDR mission is fulfilled primarily through its three principal programs – the Clinical Research Center, the Basic Science Research Program and the National Multicenter Prostate Cancer Database– and through a robust education and training program that operates out of its Headquarters location, the Clinical Research Center, and the original laboratories at USUHS. CPDR is also committed to patient outreach, primarily through its affiliation with the WRAMC US TOO! organization and through a heavy schedule of health fairs in which it participates.
