Q

QuickStart Camp (QSC)

A

PM, CL, PS, and Sponsor attend Develop Clinical Monitoring Plan (CMP), Data Handling Plan (DHP), TMF Plan, Integrated Site Activation & Maintanence (ISAM) Plan

21
Q

Pre-Study Visit (PSV) Purpose

A

• Evaluating the site before selection • Verify staff qualifications (education, training, experience) • Verify site resources and facilities meet protocol requirements • Review protocol and regulatory obligations with site • Confirm willingness to comply with protocol and regulatory requirements • Allow investigator to make an informed decision to conduct the study • Assess if the investigator can meet enrollment obligations • Discuss and evaluate potential risks • Assess willingness and ability to work with risk based monitoring – e.g., mix of targeted on-site monitoring visits and remote site management activities

23
Q

Site Selection Process

A

Site Identification –Risk identification begins at proposals and protocol development, but is established during Site Selection –Process to identify/pre-qualify potential investigators for study participation – Feasibility done by phone, online survey, face to face (if applicable) to share: • Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement (CDA) • Protocol synopsis or blinded study information • Potential Investigator Questionnaire (PIQ) • Investigator Compliance Check –Ensures investigators comply with governing regulatory agency standards – During Start-up and maintenance (each time a sub/investigator is added at site) – Review of international, national and/or local agencies • FDA list of debarred/disqualified/restricted investigators always included

24
Q

Site Identification

A

–Process to identify/pre-qualify potential investigators for study participation – Feasibility done by phone, online survey, face to face (if applicable) to share: • Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement (CDA) • Protocol synopsis or blinded study information • Potential Investigator Questionnaire (PIQ)

Q

Investigator Compliance Check

A

–Ensures investigators comply with governing regulatory agency standards – During Start-up and maintenance (each time a sub/investigator is added at site) – Review of international, national and/or local agencies • FDA list of debarred/disqualified/restricted investigators always included

29
Q

Importance of early risk identification (at investigator sites)

A

• Impact on Subject protection and data integrity • Risk identification may drive changes in trial conduct for one site or multiple sites • Risk control measures drive the monitoring strategy • Risk is assessed at all levels –System level: SOPs, computerized systems, personnel – Clinical trial level: trial design, data collection, informed consent process

30
Q

PSV Risk Assessment

A

• Risk discussions during PSV should be documented • Sponsor decides which risks to reduce and/or accept • Risk strategy should be proportionate to risk significance

31
Q

Proper Site Selection

A

• Choosing the wrong site(s) can result in: – Failure to meet the subject recruitment goals on time – Failure to close the study on time –Poor site relations – between Syneos Health and site as well as sponsor and site – Having to recruit additional sites during the study –Wasted time, effort and money • Risk discussions during PSV should be documented • Sponsor decides which risks to reduce and/or accept • Risk strategy should be proportionate to risk significance

32
Q

PSV Requirements

A

Prior to the site’s selection each site is required to have a PSV (unless the requirement is waived) • PSVs may be conducted: By telephone (CMA/CRA responsibility) In person at the investigator site (CRA responsibility)

33
Q

PSV Waiver

A

• Each site should have a PSV unless a waiver is approved • Following conditions must be met for waiver: – Investigator/site monitored for similar study in previous 12 months – No significant quality or compliance issues during previous visits – Investigator not on any debarment lists, no open warning letters (or similar) – No changes in PI and key personnel for subject procedures –Primary facility location unchanged, no satellite sites since most recent visit – No conflicts with ongoing studies, investigator available to oversee study –Access to (Electronic) Source Documentation unchanged & documented –Site/PI CDA fully signed and collected *Syneos Health Project Lead and Sponsor must approve a written waiver – PSV Waiver Form*

34
Q

PSV Preparation

A

• Verify signed Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement (CDA) is in place • Review protocol or synopsis • Complete study/PSV specific training • Review Clinical Monitoring Plan (CMP) • Review PSV WI/ SOP • Review annotated PSV report – (incl. applicable tools, checklists or presentations) • Review feasibility / PIQ Questionnaire data • Confirm investigator compliance check completed • Determine all personnel and locations to be visited – (PI availability, site staff, exam rooms, storage, labs, satellite sites, etc.) • Schedule the visit, enter planned/confirmed date in CTMS • Send Agenda and confirmation letter • Prepare Regulatory documents as needed

35
Q

6 Criteria for Serious Events (for SAE, SADR, SUSAR)

A
  1. Death 2. Life Threatening 3. Persistent/significant disability 4. Congenital abnormality 5. Hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization 6. Important Medical Event (doctor has discretion to escalate the timeline)
