Description of the Topic:
- Applying a risk management approach to the conduct of clinical studies
- Assess viability of remote source document verification
- Explore the role for QA in successful centralized monitoring.
In recent years FDA has been encouraging application of a risk-based or quality system approach to the conduct of clinical studies, in part because of FDA inspection findings that do not change from year to year at both a Sponsor and site level. In August 2011 FDA released a draft guidance titled "Guidance for Industry; Oversight of Clinical Investigations 鈥� A Risk-Based Approach to Monitoring鈥�. Among other points, the guidance discusses the concept of centralized monitoring. While centralized monitoring has never been disallowed, industry has rarely embraced it prior to the release of this guidance. The use of centralized monitoring can encompass everything from ensuring documentation is onsite and retrieval of regulatory documents, through remote source document verification. In this session we will discuss applying a risk management approach to the conduct of clinical studies. We will identify what steps to take to assist in determining whether remote source document verification is doable for a given study. We will provide suggestions on how a company can incorporate QA concepts and activities into the assessment, planning and implementation phases of such a project. We will also identify potential QA interactions that will allow the study team to determine if and when they should utilize centralized monitoring and provide tools for the participant to use in making this determination.
