This course is designed to build the foundational understanding of the identification of discrepancies in the data that are collected for a clinical trial protocol.
Query processing begins with a functional understanding of the study and study documents. There will be a sample protocol to review along with the case report forms (CRFs) which will allow you to understand the study as well as the data collection instruments. Supplemental information and the Data Management Plan (DMP), will provide the data quality checks (or “edit checks”) that will describe the data logic and information that is expected on the CRFs.
Query creation involves the identification of the data anomaly as per protocol requirements, creating a question to be sent to the investigative site for data clarification or data amendment/update. Managing query follow- up is vital to developing reliable data. Once queries have been written it is necessary to ensure appropriate responses are made and to identify when database updates are necessary.
Examine the role of query processing in data management
Analyze the relationship between the Schedule of Events and case report forms
Identify necessary edit checks
Analyze edit check content
Describe the key elements for a good query
Identify multiple results of query resolution
Describe options for inappropriate query responses
Integrate/update data amendments as a result of query resolution
The course will be led by one of the following instructors:

Day 1: 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Protocol review, CRFs. and the DMP. Discuss the study aspects against sample CRFs and the DMP to determine what queries may be necessary.
(Some pre-course work is necessary)
- Examine the DMP for the edit checks and output messages
- Queries-definition, elements of a good query, examples of queries
- Query Resolution and Database Updates
- Pre-class: Read protocol and DMP and review CRFs
- Identify Study Phase
- Identify Study design
Review schedule of events vs. protocol text vs. CRFs to ensure all data points are accounted for.
- Examine the edit check list in the sample protocol and compare that to the case report forms. Is the list complete? Would you add any CRFs? How would you improve the output message for this study?
- Do you understand what is being communicated in the list of edit checks? Are they written clearly enough?
