Study designs Sample Clauses

Study designs. After evaluators choose a framework, they are ready to select an appropriate study design. There are three kinds of designs: the simple before-after evaluation, the controlled before-after evaluation, and the randomized controlled trial. The simple before-after design is the most commonly used non-experimental design for information system evaluation. In this design, the evaluation team will compare the current system performance with its previous performance. Of course, an appropriate amount of time should be left to allow the new system to be fully functional. Moreover, measuring indicators repeatedly at different time points may also help to show the reliability of those effects (Shojania KG et al. 2005).

Study designs. A double-blind, stratified and randomised evaluation of AZD5363 when combined with weekly paclitaxel vs. weekly paclitaxel plus placebo. Approximately 100 female patients, with ER+ve advanced or metastatic breast cancer will be enrolled in this phase, of which approximately 50 must have a tumour detectable as carrying a PIK3CA mutation. The dose and schedule of AZD5363 will be selected as an outcome from the safety run-in, Part A. All enrolled patients will be stratified to either the PIK3CA mutation ‘detected’ or ‘not detectedgroup by the outcome of two tests (tissue and blood (ctDNA)). If a patient is detected as having the PIK3CA mutation in both or either of the two tests, they will be assigned to the mutation detected strata. If the mutation is not detected in both of the two tests, (or should one test be not detected and the other is either unknown or not completed for any reason) the patient will be assigned to the not detected strata. This will be referred to as the protocol definition of PIK3CA mutational status. Patients within each stratum will be randomised to 28-day cycles comprising either of: • Paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 IV once weekly plus AZD5363 capsules taken orally, twice daily. • Paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 IV once weekly plus AZD5363-matching placebo capsules taken orally, twice daily. The overall study plan for PART B is shown in Figure 1.

  • Study Design This includes a discussion of the evaluation design employed including research questions and hypotheses; type of study design; impacted populations and stakeholders; data sources; and data collection; analysis techniques, including controls or adjustments for differences in comparison groups, controls for other interventions in the State and any sensitivity analyses, and limitations of the study.

  • Program Design The County Human Resources Department will operate a Catastrophic Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition of the employee or family member. The program establishes and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or floating holiday be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible employee or to the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred to a requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury, or condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability which manifests itself during employment.

  • Preliminary Design § 4.3.1 Upon the Owner’s issuance of a written consent to proceed under Section 4.2.3, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a Preliminary Design to the Owner. The Preliminary Design shall include a report identifying any deviations from the Owner’s Criteria, and shall include the following: .1 Confirmation of the allocations of program functions; .2 Site plan; .3 Building plans, sections and elevations;

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.

  • Plan Design The flexible benefits plan is a cafeteria-style benefits program wherein the County makes a contribution toward the Flexible Benefits Plan for each eligible employee to be allocated during the employee's active employment. The County contribution is distributed by the employee among the menu of benefit options listed below, the specific details and administration of which are set forth in the plan brochures: • Health insurance • County basic life and AD&D insurance • Dental insurance • Vision insurance • Supplemental life insurance • Supplemental accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D) • Flexible spending accounts for pre-tax reimbursement of qualified medical and/or dependent day care expenses. Account credits must be used during the plan year in which they are earned for expenses incurred during the same plan year. • The plan may be modified upon written notice by the County. This plan includes for eligible employees pre-tax contributions for all monies paid toward health, dental, vision and/or voluntary AD&D plans.
