January 23, 2024: Ethics Consultation Documents Now Available for RAMP Trial

Ethics and regulatory onboarding documentation is now available for RAMP, one of the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory's newest pragmatic clinical trials. The documents include meeting minutes and supplementary materials summarizing recent discussions of ethics and regulatory issues associated with the study.

The consultation took place by video conference and included representation from the study's principal investigator and study team, members of the NIH Collaboratory's Ethics and Regulatory Core, NIH staff, and NIH Collaboratory Coordinating Center personnel.

The goal of RAMP is to evaluate the use of a 12-week mind-body skills training program for patients with pain, including a one-on-one session with a “whole health coach” followed by 11 weekly group sessions to include prerecorded expert-led education videos, mind-body skills training and practice, and group discussions.

Ethics and regulatory documentation for all of the NIH Collaboratory Trials is available on our Data and Resource Sharing page.
