This
fundamental “how to” and “why” workshop focuses on current regulatory
requirements to promote successful monitoring of studies. Participants will
learn about the role and responsibilities of the monitor, the investigator, and
the IRB from pre-study through post study. Best practice techniques for site
management will be provided, and activities such as case scenarios and
simulation exercises reviewing an informed consent document, investigator study
file, subject case report forms, and source documents will reinforce learning
concepts. This is a practical, hands-on introduction to the job and how
clinical monitoring tasks are performed.
- Discuss the role the CRA plays in the drug development
process
- State the “letter” and “spirit” of
FDA regulations as well as ethical considerations pertinent to conducting
clinical trials
- Identify and select qualified
investigators and the investigative site
- Prepare for and conduct Site
Selection/Qualification, Site Initiation, Routine Monitoring, and Study
Close-Out Visits
- Manage and report adverse events
(AEs)
- List study documentation
requirements and standards for collecting and reporting clinical trial data
- This course is beneficial if you have been monitoring
for less than one year, or if you are an in-house CRA or project assistant
who supports CRA monitoring activities
The course will be led by one of the following
instructors:
Gary B. Freeman, M.S.
Marla Hoelle, R.N., B.S.N.,
