1 00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:10,176 Many of 2 00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:14,247 you are probably also familiar maybe with the regulatory documents 3 00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:17,550 and many sponsors require these to be captures 4 00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:22,055 within an actual study binder or some sort of confined document. 5 00:00:22,055 --> 00:00:26,559 They may include the study itself as well as any amendments, 6 00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:31,464 the drug brochure, the forms 1572, which is a really important form 7 00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:35,568 for investigators to complete, all the CVs of the personnel 8 00:00:35,568 --> 00:00:40,573 that are listed on the 1572, any IRB information, or approvals, 9 00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:44,277 correspondence, all the IND safety reports, and the site 10 00:00:44,277 --> 00:00:47,981 safety reports that have been submitted to the IRB. 11 00:00:47,981 --> 00:00:51,684 Also should include the IRB-approved consent documents, any advertisements 12 00:00:51,684 --> 00:00:56,222 that have been used, the IRB membership list, investigational drug inventories, 13 00:00:56,222 --> 00:01:00,727 telephone logs that may have been used to document the tracking 14 00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:06,066 of what's going on with the study, any copies of lab certifications, CLEAR 15 00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:10,103 reports, logs documenting CRA visits, as well as signature logs, 16 00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:15,809 and then the close out letter would all -- those documents would be included 17 00:01:15,809 --> 00:01:19,045 within the regulatory documents, or the binder. 18 00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:23,516 NIH also does have documents that they like to have. 19 00:01:23,516 --> 00:01:26,753 If any of you are the NIH employees, 20 00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:31,224 which many of you are, that you be familiar with these. 21 00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:35,695 You know, the human subjects protection training, conflict of interest documents, 22 00:01:35,695 --> 00:01:39,766 disclosing finance interests, as well as the Data Safety Monitoring 23 00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:43,803 Board plan is included with any of our grant applications 24 00:01:43,803 --> 00:01:47,474 that we have, as well as all our research 25 00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:49,909 programs are required to have that. 26 00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:55,615 What is the data-sharing policy, as well as how to adequately include 27 00:01:55,615 --> 00:02:00,620 a plan for and include minorities, women, and children within your research? 28 00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:01,621 Record retention. 29 00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:06,860 How long to determine to keep records is a question I often receive. 30 00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:12,499 When some of these studies go on for years and years, these research sites 31 00:02:12,499 --> 00:02:18,938 can have a lot of data, a lot of records that they have on in storage. 32 00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:21,341 And it can become quite expensive. 33 00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:25,278 Many sites are now transferring that information into electronic 34 00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:29,649 capture system by scanning and trying to reduce the burden. 35 00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:32,719 But it's difficult to find concrete information 36 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:35,788 on what timeline records should be retained. 37 00:02:35,788 --> 00:02:38,825 There are some minimums, though, that -- 38 00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:41,895 and usually the sponsor will define that. 39 00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:45,398 But for minimums, two years following the date 40 00:02:45,398 --> 00:02:48,902 the marketing application is approved for any investigational 41 00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:50,503 new drug is a standard. 42 00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:54,440 And if the application is disapproved, then the data should be maintained 43 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,344 for two years after the shipment and delivery of the drug for 44 00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,614 the investigational use is discontinued and the FDA is notified. 45 00:03:01,614 --> 00:03:03,249 All IRB records should probably 46 00:03:03,249 --> 00:03:07,153 be maintained for at least three years after the study is completed. 47 00:03:07,153 --> 00:03:10,757 And some of these studies can go on for many years, 48 00:03:10,757 --> 00:03:13,927 so that's a long time to maintain. 49 00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:18,331 As far as follow-up and analysis, you know, no further 50 00:03:18,331 --> 00:03:22,969 participant enrollment is a timepoint that follow-up needs to be determined. 51 00:03:22,969 --> 00:03:26,339 How long does that need to go out? 52 00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:30,577 How much data needs to be collected during this phase? 53 00:03:30,577 --> 00:03:34,347 Hopefully, just minimum amounts because the, you know, funding 54 00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:38,551 is going to be far less at this time point. 55 00:03:40,353 --> 00:03:42,555 Think about data queries in preparation 56 00:03:42,555 --> 00:03:46,960 for the final analysis, once this is completed, the data is frozen, 57 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,731 and you can't enter, sites can't enter more information into the data system. 58 00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:56,135 So they want to get that information in before that time point. 59 00:03:56,135 --> 00:04:01,274 And then the study close out is an intense review that, again, is done 60 00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:04,944 by the sponsor in which they review the regulatory documents, 61 00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:07,914 they look at any outstanding CRFs and queries, 62 00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:11,818 they look at the drug inventory, they verify that all SAEs 63 00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:15,021 have been reported to the IRB and the sponsor. 64 00:04:15,021 --> 00:04:18,925 Any remaining drug is returned and then arrangements for the drug's 65 00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:21,394 record storage are discussed and determined. 66 00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:25,665 So basically, there are some key pieces to keep in mind 67 00:04:25,665 --> 00:04:28,501 as far as guiding principles of data management. 68 00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:33,039 Again, designing CRFs in accordance with the protocol and doing them 69 00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:37,677 in a method that makes sense and are user friendly are key. 70 00:04:37,677 --> 00:04:39,979 Standardized data entry procedures and processes. 71 00:04:39,979 --> 00:04:40,747 Stay organized. 72 00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:46,152 I, you know, being a compulsive, I think is a key attribute for people 73 00:04:46,152 --> 00:04:50,023 who are involved in research because they tend to be 74 00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:53,860 the ones that want to pay strong attention to detail. 75 00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:58,498 Don't get behind because it's so difficult to get caught back up. 76 00:04:58,531 --> 00:05:00,300 Easier said than done. 77 00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,070 And then thorough and complete documentation is key. 78 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:07,840 And again, I provide you some resource websites 79 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,278 that you an use, as well as some additional references 80 00:05:12,278 --> 00:05:17,183 for some of the information that I provided within the slides. 81 00:05:17,183 --> 00:05:23,623 You can go to these and review it in more detail, if you like. 82 00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:26,959 And so with that, I'd be happy 83 00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:30,063 to take any questions anyone might have. 84 00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:34,500 Okay, I'm not seeing any questions, which is just fine. 85 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,736 We're right at the end of the time period. 86 00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:40,707 So I thank you for your attention, and I think if you come up with questions 87 00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:42,942 later, there's the opportunity to send them to me. 88 00:05:42,942 --> 00:05:47,146 I'll see what I can do to happily answer those as well I can, or find the 89 00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:48,381 answers for you.
