Purpose: To obtain fundamental data on selection tools for an internal audit and develop a new guideline. We scored the indicated points from the internal audit, identified the research progress and problems that occurred, and confirmed the validity of the risk factors involved. Methods: Of the 63 internal audits conducted by Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital from 2014 to 2021, we analyzed 55 clinical trials with an inspection checklist. We excluded 8 that failed to transfer data and refused to comply with the internal audit. The statistical summary of the collected data was verified and interpreted by using frequency analysis and a chi-square test. Result: Of total 55 cases included in the internal audit, sponsor-initiated trial (SIT) was 63.6% (vs. investigator-initiated trial [IIT]), clinical trial for investigational drug was 71.0% (vs. nonclinical or clinical trial for investigational device), domestic multicenter trial was 60.0% (vs. single center or multinational multicenter trial), and trial requisition for MFDS approval was 69.1% (vs. exception for MFDS approval). The 10 areas of the clinical trial inspection checklist (reports, protection of subjects, compliance with protocols, records, management of investigational drug and/or device, delegation of duties, qualification of investigators, management of specimen, contract-agreement and approval of protocols, and preservation of recorded documents) were weighted between 2 to 5 points. The average of the total points was 16.09±13.2 and 20 clinical trials were above the average. As a result of comparing the average of the total points weighted by year, the highest score was in 2020. The 4 factors that play significant roles in determining the internal quality were (1) principal subjects that initiated the clinical trials (p=0.049), (2) type (p=0.003), (3) phase of clinical trials (p=0.024), and (4) number of registered subjects reported at the time of continuing deliberation (p=0.019). Of the 10 areas of the clinical trial inspection checklist, 'record' was the most inappropriate and insufficient. We found more indicated points; the quality of performance declined in IIT, nonclinical trials, and other clinical trials that were not in phase I1-IV4, and the study of more than 30 registered subjects at the time of continuing review. Conclusion: If an institution has an internal audit selection tool that reflects the aforementioned risk factors, it will be possible to effectively manage high-risk studies; thereby, contributing to an efficient internal audit and improving the quality of clinical trials.

'투약용량 발견 시험(Dose Finding Study)'라고도 불리는 제 1상 임상시험은 동물 실험 혹은 시험관 실험을 통하여 개발된 신약물질을 사람에게 실시하는 첫 단계이다. 제1상 임상시험의 가장 주요한 목적은 환자에게 허용할 수 있고 최대의 효능을 가진 복용량을 결정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이를 고려하여 최대허용용량(MTD)를 결정할 수 있는 적절한 추정방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 Biased coin design과 멈춤규칙을 이용하여 MTD를 추정한다. 제안하는 방법은 모의실험을 통해 기존의 방법들과 비교하였다.

제1상 임상시험은 '투약 용량 발견 시험(dose finding study)'라고도 불리는데 동물 실험 또는 시험관 실험을 통하여 개발된 신약 물질을 사람에게 시험하는 첫 단계이다. 제 1상 임상시험의 목적 중 하나는 환자에게 허용할 수 있으면서 최대의 효능을 가진 복용량인 최대허용용량(maximum tolerated dose, MTD)을 결정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 멈춤 규칙을 이용한 MTD 추정법들을 소개한다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 SM3, NM, Rim, J3, BSM 방법을 비교하고 효율적인 MTD 추정법에 대해 고찰한다. 모의실험 결과 BSM방법이 목표독성확률에 가장 가깝게 MTD를 추정하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 J3방법의 피험자 수가 가장 적었다. 이러한 결과는 두 방법의 멈춤 규칙의 특성 때문이라고 판단되는데 BSM방법은 독성 반응이 있을 때 같은 용량에 피험자를 2명 또는 1명을 추가한다. 또한 J3방법은 동일한 용량에 할당되는 최대 피험자 수가 다른 방법에 비해 적다. 이러한 특성들을 결합하여 추정법을 개선한다면 더 효율적으로 MTD를 추정할 수 있을 것이다. 특히 BSM방법의 멈춤 규칙을 이용하면서 총 피험자 수를 줄일 수 있다면 적은 수의 피험자로 정확한 추정이 가능할 것이다.

최근 국내 임상시험의 양적 증가와 더불어, 임상시험 자료를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 Electronic Data Capture(EDC) 시스템의 도입 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 식품의약품안전청에서는 '임상시험 전자 자료 처리 및 관리를 위한 가이드라인'을 발표하였다. 이는 향후 국내 임상시험 전자 자료 관리에 관한 법률 제정을 위한 기초가 될 것으로 기대한다. 이 연구에서는 국내 임상시험 관련 기관인 병원과 임상시험 수탁기관(CRO), 그리고 제약회사에서의 EDC 시스템 이용 현황과 관계자들이 인식하는 가이드라인 및 전자 자료 표준의 중요성 및 적용 용이성과 이해도를 조사하였다. 국내 임상시험 관련 기관에서의 EDC 시스템 이용률은 77.6% 이었지만 EDC 시스템을 이용한 임상시험 건수는 5건 미만이 가장 많았다. EDC 시스템은 주로 약물동력학 시험을 하는 phase I과 임상효과와 안전성을 평가하는 phase II 임상시험에서 주로 이용되었고, 기관별로는 CRO의 이용률이 가장 높았다. 모든 집단에서 가이드라인의 중요성은 높게 인식하였으나, 적용 용이성 측면에서는 CRO에서 가장 높았다. 또한, 임상시험 전자 자료 표준의 중요성을 높게 인식하였고, 전자 자료 수집에 있어 표준의 필요성을 높게 인식하였다. 그러나 임상시험 전자 자료 국제표준인 Clinical Data Interchange Standard Consortium(CDISC)에 대한 이해도는 아직 낮은 수준이었다. 이 연구 결과는 국내 임상시험 전자화를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며 임상시험 자료 표준에 관한 정책수립에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Recent development of human genetics and techniques of gene transfer and expression have opened the way for investigating novel approaches based on the genetic modification of cells to treat both inherited and acquired diseases. This approach is referred to as gene therapy. Over the past few years, gene therapy has moved from the laboratory to phase I clinical trials. Although the clinical performance of gene transfer experiments is still in an early phase of development, the NIH of Health Recombinant DNA Advisory Comittee (RAC) has approved more than 150 protocols that involve gene transfer or putative gene therapy procedures in clinical settings. Many sectors of society in United States have participated in the design and formulation of these clinical trials through local Institutional Review Boards, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) RAC, the Chemotherapy Evaluation Program of the National Cancer institute, and the FDA. Currently, clinical trials involving gene modification are under way at many medical centers throughout the United Slates. The goals of these trials are as follows. (1) The design should be directed to short-term achievable goals. (2) Each clinical trial is best considered as an intermediate step in a multistep process. (3) The design should identify evaluable proximate endpoints for toxicity and for efficacy, (4) The potential benefits and possible risks for patients participating in these trial should be defined.

Objectives : To compare the efficacy of local acupoint with distal acupuncture at relieving pain and improving function in knee osteoarthritis. Designs : A randomized, single-blinded, crossover clinical trial. Settings : One outpatient clinic(department of acupuncture & moxibustion) located in academic teaching hospital, South Korea. Patients : 17 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee(mean age 62.76[$SD{\pm}4.37$] years). Interventions : The trial had 4 stages : baseline(2weeks), phase I and II(each 2weeks), washout period(2weeks). Patients were randomly assigned to either group A or group B. Group A received acupuncture at local acupoints during phase I, then acupuncture at distal acupoints in phase II. Group B received the treatments in reverse order. In each phase, the patients were treated with acupuncture for 6 times. Measurements : The primary outcome was subjective pain as measured by a 100mm visual analogue scale(VAS) ranging from 0(no pain) to 10(worst pain ever). Secondary outcomes were changes in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC) total and pain scores. Measurements were obtained at baseline, 1st day of phase I and II, and 2 days after last treatment of phase I and II. Results : The 17 participants in 2 groups were well matched for age, sex, target knees, baseline VAS score, WOMAC pain score and WOMAC score. Participants in local acupoint group experienced greater improvement than distal acupoint group at 2 days after last treatment in WOMAC total score(mean difference, -10.65[95% CI, -20.56 to -0.74] ; P=0.036) but not in VAS(mean difference, -12.41[95% CI, -29.56 to 4.73] P=0.15) and WOMAC pain score(mean difference, -1.82[95% CI, -3.98 to 0.33] ; P=0.094). Conclusions : Local acupoints are more effective than distal acupoints at relieving pain and improving function in knee osteoarthritis.
