22
Q

Quality definition

A

Total set of characteristics of a product or service that affect its ability to satisfy a customer’s stated or implied needs

23
Q

Quality system definition

A

Organizational structure, responsibilities, procedures, processes and resources for implementing quality management

24
Q

Quality assurance definition

A

Systematic and independent examination of all trial related activities. Audits determine whether activities were appropriately conducted and data were generated, recorded, analyzed and accurately reported according to protcol, SOPs, and GCP

25
Q

Quality control definition

A

Periodic operational. Checks within each functional department to verify clinical data are generated, collected, handled, analyzed, and reported according to protocol, SOPs, and GCP

26
Q

Quality is the…

A

Absence of errors that matter

27
Q

Quality plan

A

How QC and QA processes are applied, define quality related tasks and their resources

28
Q

Operational QC

A

-sampling plans
-data source
-documented metrics
-acceptable quality levels
-methods to report/distribute results

29
Q

Operation QC consists of (6)

A
  1. Study design phase
  2. Investigator selection
  3. Study monitoring
  4. Source data verification
  5. Query resolution
  6. Regulations compliance
30
Q

Examples of risk entities

A

Protocol, data, science review, SOPs

31
Q

Objectives of quality by design

A

Patient safety and data integrity
-SOP and regulatory compliance
-robust processes
-consistency across processes
-transparency

32
Q

Plan do check act cycle

A
  1. Plan - establish objectives and processes to deliver quality results for goals (design quality into trial, focus on what matters most: recruitment and eligibility, IP, patient perspective)
  2. Do - implement the study risk management strategies and plan
  3. Check - study the actual results, compare against goals, look for deviations by monitoring leading indicators in trial, chart data to see trends
  4. Act - request corrective actions on anything that varies significantly from plan, determine root causes, determine where to apply changes to improve process. Drive remediation and learning. Adjust = course correction
33
Q

Quality by design plan do check act cycle

A
  1. Plan - protcol, assess risks, plan mitigation and evaluation
  2. Do - operations, do the trial, training, procedures tailored to protocol
  3. Check - monitoring
  4. Act - make improvements, re assess risks , change protocol, operations or monitoring
34
Q

Benefits of quality by design

A

Early detection: faster corrections, avoided costs, protected image
Big picture: comprehensive issue detection, quantifiable risks and prioritization, focused allocation of resources
Deeper insights: detection of systematic issues, ID of trends, process improvements

35
Q

High quality clinical trials

A

Avoid errors that matter to decision making
Human participant protection
Reliability of results
Consider wider environment (public health etc)

36
Q

Impact of errors

A

-random errors add noise reduce statistical power but does not produce bias
-systematic errors add bias and lead towards a particular decision

37
Q

Errors that matter

A

Affect patient safety or credibility of study results
