National clinical trial registry by Ministry of Health of China to join World Health Organization International Clinical Trial Registration Platform (WHO ICTRP Primary Registry), and the approved Primary Registry of WHO ICTRP. It registers both Chinese and global clinical trials, receives data from Partner Registers certified by the WHO ICTRP, and submits data to the WHO ICTRP Central Repository for global search. Moreover, based upon the talent and technical platform, consisting of Chinese Evidence-based Medicine Centre of Ministry of Health of China, Virtual Research Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine of Ministry of Education of China, Chinese Cochrane Centre, UK Cochrane Centre and International Clinical Epidemiology Network Resource and Training Centre in West China Hospital, Sichuan University (INCLEN CERTC), ChiCTR is responsible for providing consultations on trial design, central randomization service, guidance on the writing of clinical trial reports and relevant training. WHO takes the lead in establishing the global clinical trial registration system, which is agreed upon by governments from all over the world. There are both ethical and scientific reasons for clinical trial registration. Trial participants expect that their contributions to biomedical knowledge will be used to improve health care for everyone. Open access to information about ongoing and completed trials meets the ethical duty to trial participants, and promotes greater trust and public confidence in clinical research. Furthermore, trial registration ensures that the results of all trials can be tracked down and should help to reduce unnecessary duplication of research through greater awareness of existing trials and results. The mission of ChiCTR is to Unite clinicians, clinical epidemiologists, biostatisticians, epidemiologists and health care managers both at home and abroad, to manage clinical trials in a strict and scientific manner, and to promote their quality in China, so as to provide reliable evidences from clinical trials for health care workers, consumers and medical policy decision makers, and also to use medical resources more effectively to provide better service for Chinese people and all human beings. Any trial performed in human beings is considered as a clinical trial, and should be registered before its implementation. All the registered clinical trials will be granted a unique registration number by WHO ICTRP.

Consortium of 12 Biomedical sciences research infrastructure (BMS RI) partners to develop a shared e-infrastructure to allow interoperability between data and services in the biological, medical, translational and clinical domains (providing a complex knowledge environment comprising standards, ontologies, data and services) and thus strengthen biomedical resources in Europe. The BMS RIs are on the roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). Connecting several European research infrastructures brings a diversity of ethical, legal and security concerns including data security requirements for participating e-Infrastructures that are storing or processing patient-related data (or biosamples): EATRIS, ECRIN, BBMRI, EuroBioImaging and EMBL-EBI. In addition, INSTRUCT is interested in secure sample transport and in intellectual property rights; Infrafrontier stores high-throughput data from mice. BBMRI with its focus on the availability of biomaterials is currently emphasizing aspects like k-anonymity and metadata management for its data. Sharing of imaging data by Euro-BioImaging poses challenges with respect to anonymisation and intellectual property. Therefore, an ethical, regulatory and security framework for international data sharing that covers these diverse areas and different types of data (e.g. clinical trials data, mouse data, and human genotype and DNA sequence data) is of crucial importance. The outcomes will lead to real and sustained improvement in the services the biomedical sciences research infrastructures offer to the research community. Data curation and sample description will be improved by the adoption of best practices and agreed standards. Many improvements will emerge from new interactions between RIs created by data linkage and networking. Ensuring access to relevant information for all life science researchers across all BMS RIs will enable scientists to conduct and share cutting-edge research.

The Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) study aims to find out if using new genetic technologies can help doctors understand why patients get developmental disorders. To do this we have brought together doctors in the 23 NHS Regional Genetics Services throughout the UK and scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a charitably funded research institute which played a world-leading role in sequencing (reading) the human genome. The DDD study involves experts in clinical, molecular and statistical genetics, as well as ethics and social science. It has a Scientific Advisory Board consisting of scientists, doctors, a lawyer and patient representative, and has received National ethical approval in the UK. Over the next few years, we are aiming to collect DNA and clinical information from 12,000 undiagnosed children in the UK with developmental disorders and their parents. The results of the DDD study will provide a unique, online catalogue of genetic changes linked to clinical features that will enable clinicians to diagnose developmental disorders. Furthermore, the study will enable the design of more efficient and cheaper diagnostic assays for relevant genetic testing to be offered to all such patients in the UK and so transform clinical practice for children with developmental disorders. Over time, the work will also improve understanding of how genetic changes cause developmental disorders and why the severity of the disease varies in individuals. The Sanger Institute will contribute to the DDD study by performing genetic analysis of DNA samples from patients with developmental disorders, and their parents, recruited into the study through the Regional Genetics Services. Using microarray technology and the latest DNA sequencing methods, research teams will probe genetic information to identify mutations (DNA errors or rearrangements) and establish if these mutations play a role in the developmental disorders observed in patients. The DDD initiative grew out of the groundbreaking DECIPHER database, a global partnership of clinical genetics centres set up in 2004, which allows researchers and clinicians to share clinical and genomic data from patients worldwide. The DDD study aims to transform the power of DECIPHER as a diagnostic tool for use by clinicians. As well as improving patient care, the DDD team will empower researchers in the field by making the data generated securely available to other research teams around the world. By assembling a solid resource of high-quality, high-resolution and consistent genomic data, the leaders of the DDD study hope to extend the reach of DECIPHER across a broader spectrum of disorders than is currently possible.

http://ctakes.apache.org

An open-source natural language processing system for information extraction from electronic medical record clinical free-text. This is a system through which one creates one or more pipelines to process clinical notes and to identify clinical named entities. It processes clinical notes, identifying types of clinical named entities, drugs, diseases/disorders, signs/symptoms, anatomical sites and procedures. Each named entity that is found is given attributes for the text span, the ontology mapping code, the context (family history of, current, unrelated to patient), and negated/not negated. cTAKES is built on the UIMA framework. cTAKES 2.5 does not provide a GUI of its own for installation or processing. The cTAKES documentation shows how to use the GUIs provided by the UIMA framework, and how to run cTAKES from a command line. Before using cTAKES you need to know that cTAKES does not provide any mechanisms of its own to handle patient data securely. It is assumed that cTAKES is installed on a system that can process patient data, or that any data being processed by cTAKES has already been through a deidentification step in order to comply with any applicable laws. The tool has been developed and deployed at Mayo Clinic since early 2000.
