Abstrakt: The Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) was launched as a prospective multi-center registry of cases who receive medical toxicology consultations. Now, with over 100,000 cases, the Core Registry continues to address many medical toxicology research questions and has served as the foundation for multiple sub-registries, including the North American Snakebite Registry and the Medications for Opioid Use Disorder sub-registry. ToxIC also has evolved a portfolio of non-registry-based projects utilizing medical toxicology physician site principal investigators who enroll patients through emergency departments, irrespective of whether they received a medical toxicology consultation. These studies include the FDA-ACMT COVID-19 ToxIC Pharmacovigilance Project, which identifies adverse drug reactions related to the treatment of COVID-19, the Fentalog Study a toxico-surveillance study of suspected opioid overdose cases, the Drug Overdose Toxico-Surveillance Reporting Program which enrolls either suspected stimulant or opioid overdose cases, and the just being launched Real-World Examination of Naloxone for Drug Overdose Reversal project. Given ToxIC's experience in multi-center studies and its well-developed infrastructure, it is well-positioned to provide a nimble response on the part of the medical toxicology community to addressing evolving toxicological threats, drug and chemical toxicosurveillance, and other important medical toxicology priorities.
