About Patient Registry

An advanced medical information management database system developed to improve the quality,  productivity,  and efficiency of clinical research and patient care. It is built to efficiently manage large reusable datasets, minimize investigator bias, and integrate with the workflow of clinical practice.  

Significance and Benefits

Recent advances in molecular technologies, including quantitative immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, genomics, and proteomics, have both enhanced our ability to characterize a patient’s cancer and resulted in a tremendous increase in information management requirements. The data registry supports the need for large, reusable clinical databases to provide contextual data for biomarker and translational research, predictive modeling, and clinical research.

Investigators requiring massive datasets with an adequate long-term follow-up to accumulate adequate endpoints to analyze treatment outcomes such as disease progression and survival while controlling for multiple predictor variables have successfully used our data registry to address these needs. Today, many investigators must collaborate with other institutions to meet their sample size requirements and validate their research results. The costs of managing and sharing these massive databases are considerable and increasing.

Further, the costs and risks associated with developing new clinical research information systems to meet these demands are significant.

Application Procedure

1. The researcher must submit a request for DATA REQUEST FORM to KSUMC Database Team. Applicants must provide the following upon request:
   1. Copy of Study protocol or summary / Approved IRB Protocol
   2. Copy IRB approved ICF
   3. Copy of verification of IRB approval (e.g. approval letter)
2.  Once the request is submitted, it will be reviewed by the KSUMC Team. The Second Party will receive approval status notification within 2 to 4 weeks following submission.
3.  Submit a summary of the analysis plan prior to conducting the Analysis.
4.  Provide other researchers with additional details of the analysis on request.
5.  Meet any additional requirements identified by the Independent Review Panel.
6.  Provide the KSUMC team with a copy of any public disclosure of the results, including a copy of the manuscript. (Some sponsors include a provision for prior review of the manuscript and other sponsors require the manuscript after submission; refer to the terms specified in your actual Data Sharing Agreement.) Also provide the relevant sponsor(s) with the citation after publication.
