Cluster randomised controlled trial of computer decision support for management of familial cancer in primary care

ABSTRACT: Study hypothesis: This project applies the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for evaluation of complex interventions and encompasses an optimisation trial of computer decision support for familial cancer in primary care and an audit of current referral patterns for familial cancers to inform power calculations for a subsequent multi-centre trial. This optimisation trial will pilot procedures for the delivery and assessment of the intervention and will, in addition, seek to optimise and identify the most cost-effective intervention that should be evaluated in a full-scale trial by having a fixed and an adaptive intervention arm. The underlying hypotheses are that the provision of computer decision support and a family history questionnaire in primary care will lead to more appropriate and cost-effective referrals for familial cancers (i.e. that are in line with regional referral criteria), and will enable patients to make better informed decisions about their familial risk of cancer. Primary outcome(s): 1. The number of times that the GRAIDS software is used in the GP practices 2. The total number of referrals to secondary care about familial cancer and the proportion that meet regional referral criteria 3. The cost per use of the software and the cost per appropriate referral

Evaluation of guidelines for open access flexible sigmoidoscopy

Project description:Study hypothesis: To evaluate the effect of guidelines on utilisation of an open access flexible sigmoidoscopy (OAFS) service and the subsequent clinical management of patients referred to it. To compare the management of patients referred to outpatient clinics or to OAFS in terms of process measures, clinical outcome and resource utilisation. To identify changes in referral case mix following introduction of guidelines for an OAFS. Primary outcome(s): 1. Referrals/1000 population 2. Endoscopy findings 3. Final diagnoses 4. Time to diagnosis 5. Resource costs in primary and secondary care 6. Patient resource costs. The introduction of the guideline had no significant effect on the selection of patients for investigation, but did influence patient management, both at the time of endoscopy and thereafter, the sum effect of which was reduced use of secondary care resources. GPs are selective in their use of an OAFS service for patients with rectal bleeding. The introduction of OAFS is cost effective and results in changes in case mix in referrals to specialist clinics. Non-malignant neoplasms were found more often in OAFS referrals, confirming the value of this service in evaluating low risk rectal bleeding.

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist for recent-onset type 1 diabeties mellitus: a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled trial

Project description:Background: Blocking the action of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) reduces beta-cell secretory dysfunction and apoptosis in vitro, diabetes incidence in animal models of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), and glycaemia via improved beta-cell function in patients with T2D. We hypothesised that anakinra, a recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist, improves beta-cell function in patients with new-onset T1D. Methods: In an individually randomised, two-group parallel trial involving 14 European tertiary referral centers, 69 patients aged 18-35 with T1D, < 12 weeks of symptoms, and standard mixed meal test (MMT) stimulated C-peptide ≥ 200 pM were enrolled between January, 2009 and July, 2011 and assigned by centralised computer-generated blocked randomisation with locked computer-file concealment to treatment with 100 mg anakinra (n=35) subcutaneously once daily or placebo (n=34) for 9 months as add-on to conventional therapy. Participants and care-givers, but not data monitoring unit, were masked to group assignment. The primary end-point was change in the two-hour area-under-the-curve C-peptide response to MMT, and secondary end-points changes in insulin requirements, glycaemia, and inflammatory markers at one, three, six, and nine months. Findings: The study was prematurely terminated due to slow accrual and is closed to follow-up. No interim analysis was performed. Ten patients withdrew in the anakinra and eight in the placebo arm, leaving 25 and 26 patients to be analysed, respectively. There was no statistical difference in adverse event category reporting between arms. Interpretation: Anakinra-treatment in T1D was safe, but the trial failed to meet primary and secondary outcome measures.

Setdb1-mediated H3K9 methylation is enriched on the inactive X and plays a role in its epigenetic silencing

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the DNA methylation state of wildtype female mouse embryonic fibroblasts with nonsilencing shRNA mediated knockdown and Setdb1 geneTrap heterozygous cells with Setdb1 shRNA mediated knockdown. Methods: Enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Libraries (eRRBS) were produced as previously descirbed (Akalin et al. 2012). Libraries were pooled and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform for 100 bp single-end reads with dark cycle parameters (Boyle et al. 2012). Image analysis was performed in real time by the HiSeq Control Software (HCS) v1.4.8 and Real Time Analysis (RTA) v1.12.4.2, running on the instrument computer. Real-time base calling on the HiSeq instrument computer was performed with the RTA software. Illumina CASAVA1.8 pipeline was used to generate the sequence data.

Setdb1-mediated H3K9 methylation is enriched on the inactive X and plays a role in its epigenetic silencing

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study was to profile the transcriptome of differentiating embryonic stem cells (ES) with nonsilencing shRNA mediated knockdown and Setdb1 geneTrap heterozygous cells with Setdb1 shRNA mediated knockdown. Methods: Female Setdb1+/+ Xist∆A/+ ES cells were induced to differentiate and RNA sampled on day 0, day 3 and day 5 of differentiation. RNAseq libraries were prepared with TruSeq RNA sample preparation v2 kit. Libraries were pooled and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform for 100 bp single-end reads. Image analysis was performed in real time by the HiSeq Control Software (HCS) v1.4.8 and Real Time Analysis (RTA) v1.12.4.2, running on the instrument computer. Real-time base calling on the HiSeq instrument computer was performed with the RTA software. Illumina CASAVA1.8 pipeline was used to generate the sequence data.
