Abstract

Since 2007, children and adolescents with Hodgkin lymphomas are treated in the Europe-wide EuroNet-PHL trials. A real time central review process for stratification of the patients enhances quality control and efficient therapy management. This process includes reading of all cross-sectional-images. Since reference evaluation is time critical, a fast, easy to handle and safe data transfer is important. In addition, immediate and constant access to all the data has to be guaranteed in case of queries and for regulatory reasons. To meet the mentioned requirements the EuroNet Paediatric Hodgkin Data Network (funded by the European Union – Project Number: 2007108) was established between 2008 and 2011. A respective tailored data protection plan was formulated. The aim of this article is to describe the networks’ mode of operation and the advantages for multi-centre trials that include centralized image review.

Zusammenfassung

Seit 2007 werden Kinder und Jugendlichen, die an einem Hodgkin-Lymphom erkranken innerhalb der europaweit rekrutierenden EuroNet-Studien behandelt. Ein in Echtzeit ablaufender zentraler Referenzprozess zur Stratifizierung der Patienten gewährleistet eine qualitätskontrollierte Behand­lung und ein effizientes Therapiemanagement. Dieser Prozess beinhaltet auch die zentrale Refe­renzbegutachtung der durchgeführten Schnittbildgebungen. Auf­grund der Dringlichkeit ist ein schneller, einfach zu handhabender und sicherer Transport der Bilddaten besonders wichtig. Außerdem muss garantiert sein, dass die Bildgebungen im Fall von Nachfragen ständig verfügbar sind und dass die Datenaufbewahrung den entsprechenden Datenschutzbestimmungen folgt. Um benannte Anforderungen zu erfüllen, wurde im Zeitraum von 2008–2011 das EuroNet-Paediatric-Hodgkin-Datennetzwerk aufgebaut (gefördert von der EU, Projekt-Nr. 2007108). Ein auf das Datennetzwerk zugeschnittener Daten­schutzplan wurde erstellt. Ziel dieses Artikels ist, die Funktionsweise des Netzwerkes mit seinen Vorteilen, speziell für Multizenterstudien, die eine Refe­renzevaluation der Bildgebung vorsehen, zu ­beschreiben.
