The person that has the most contact with the site is the CRA; they are the “face” of the sponsor, the purveyor of information, and the person that most influences the site’s performance on a study. It is critical that this individual be in a position to positively reflect the sponsor and ensure the site performs to their full potential through training, knowledge, and support. CRAs must understand the data review process, but they must also havethe skills to train, mentor, and communicate with new and experienced site staff, and to navigate the path through challenging situations. In addition, the CRA needs to be equipped and prepared to communicate with the Principal Investigator (PI) and be able to support the site in recruitment efforts and the documentation process. A better understanding of adult learning techniques, unique and thorough approaches to recruitment and retention strategies, carefully developed and implemented communication plans, and an understanding of project management techniques can make the difference between a site meeting enrollment with minimal deviations, and a site lacking in enrollment with multiple protocol violations. This course will focus on a variety of techniques and training to help CRAs move from monitors to study managers in their skills.

Major postmarketing vigilance revisions are now in force. A revised medical device guidance document on postmarketing vigilance (MEDDEV 2.12-1 rev 5) came into force on January 1, 2008. Providing more guidance than the previous version, the new document includes new reporting terminology and concepts such as “periodic summary reporting” and “trend reporting.” In addition, the terms “advisory notice,” “near incident,” and “recall” have been eliminated or replaced. Although MEDDEVs are not legally binding, it is likely that all European Competent Authorities will follow the new guidelines and will expect organizations involved in the management and reporting of adverse incidents to follow them as well. Seminar topics include new terms and definitions, the guideline’s extended scope, reporting criteria and timelines, filing safety notices and field safety corrective actions, the vigilance aspects of revising Directive 2007/47/EC, and more.

According to the Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) Good Clinical Data Management Practices (GCDMP):“…no document in a clinical trial (other than the study protocol) is more important than the instrument designed and used to acquire data. The quality of the data collected relies first and foremost on the quality of this instrument. Regardless of the time and effort spent conducting the trial, the correct data points must be collected; otherwise, a meaningful analysis of the study’s outcome may not be possible. Therefore, it follows that the design, development, and quality assurance of such an instrument must receive the utmost attention.”

This program will explore the evolution of Clinical Data Management from a paper case report form (CRF) process to the “real time” data review capable world of electronic data capture (EDC). We will review the specific regulations that govern the electronic data capture and electronic signature requirements, and examine the changing role of the Data Manager in an environment where the technology drives the process. Although the basic data management principles remain the same, for example good CRF design and ensuring the integrity of the data, the timelines and tasks surrounding today’s EDC are not interpreted exactly as the paper CRF process has previously dictated. The understanding of how the technology has changed the process will enable today’s Data Managers to move forward in the discipline and ensure their place as viable members of the clinical study team. As electronic data capture utilized as patient e-source or eCRF becomes more the routine, it is important that the CDM be fully aware of the capabilities of the EDC application in order to ensure a comprehensive data management component in the clinical trial conduct.

The regulatory environment is constantly shifting and changing. This dynamism necessitates keeping abreast of current information from a variety of sources. Regulatory Intelligence (RI) is the act of gathering and analyzing regulatory information for impact or changes in laws, regulations, directives, guidance documents, etc. There is more to regulatory intelligence than keeping up with the latest regulations and guidelines. Regulatory precedence, industry practices, regulatory agency opinions, competitor information are just a few of the valuable sources of information that can help regulatory affairs professionals to develop successful regulatory strategies.

Managing compliance in the research industry is critical to successful clinical trials. Managing investigator noncompliance in the research industry is critical to successful clinical trials. Regulatory authorities expect that all stakeholders identify noncompliance, correct the non-compliance through intervention, and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Root cause analysis provides a process through which issues can be accurately identified and interventions can be effectively designed.

Clinical Monitors (CRAs) must document many details of the happenings at investigational sites, including Confirmation Letters to sites, Monitoring Visit Reports, Follow-Up Letters to sites, Telephone Contact Reports, Email/Faxes to sites, and Queries and Notes to File (NTF). All of these become essential documents as they demonstrate the compliance of the monitor and, thus, the sponsor in the conduct of the clinical trial. These are all eligible for inspection by the regulatory authorities at any time both during and after the study is completed and submitted for product approval. This is the same regulation for drugs, biologics, and devices. Effective writing skills are, therefore, extremely important so that we show the diligence and detail involved in effective monitoring. Increasingly, we notice that the Confirmation Letters, Monitoring Visit Reports, and Follow-Up Letters have discrepancies. This may be simple date inconsistencies, or critical data credibility issues. It is important that the monitor be aware of the importance of these issues in the review of study documentation. This module will provide some practical solutions to addressing document deficiencies as well as provide a practical understanding of how these documents provide evidence for the regulated activities of the investigator and the sponsor.

The Trial Master File is a collection of the essential documents for a sponsor to record how they have fulfilled their obligations for a clinical trial. The Code of Federal Regulations states in 21 CFR 312.50 that, “Sponsors are responsible for… ensuring that the investigation(s) is conducted in accordance with the general investigational plan and protocols contained in the IND. The European Directive 2005/28/EC states that, “the trial master file shall consist of essential documents, which enable both the conduct of a clinical trial and the quality of the data produced to be evaluated.” ICH GCP, Section 8.1 defines these Essential Documents as those that individually and collectively permit evaluation of the conduct of a trial and the quality of the data produced. These documents serve to demonstrate the compliance of the investigator, sponsor, and monitor with the standards of GCP and with all applicable regulatory requirements. They are all also eligible for inspection by the regulatory authorities at any time during and after the study is completed and submitted for product approval. This is the same regulation for drugs, biologics and devices. It is, therefore, paramount that these documents are filed in a way to make them immediately accessible for use by the study team and for regulatory inspection. This module will provide some practical solutions to meet these challenges.

The basis and success of any drug or device development program is the clinical trial protocol. Clinical trials conducted under an IND or IDE cannot begin without a protocol, and yet there is variability between companies and individuals on how to approach writing this critical document. Clinical trials and entire programs have failed because the protocol was not scientifically sound. Knowing how to effectively research and write a clinical trial protocol is essential to a compound achieving IRB and ultimately market approval.
