Risk-Based Monitoring: Successful Planning and Implementation
Upcoming Courses
Course Description
A fundamental shift has occurred in the clinical research industry related to how sponsors satisfy their regulatory and GCP requirements for the adequate monitoring of clinical trials. Recent regulatory authority guidance and industry initiatives are both promoting a modern approach to clinical trial monitoring based upon program and study-specific risk assessments and mitigation plans. In order for clinical research professionals to embrace this industry shift, it is critical that they understand the rationale, concepts, and actual work practices inherent in risk-based monitoring.
This course is designed for clinical research professionals across the spectrum of research organizations, investigational product types, and experience levels. Participants will acquire a deeper understanding of the philosophy of risk-based monitoring and be able to apply this understanding to operational activities including the following:
• Performing program and study-level risk assessments and managing risks
• Writing a risk-based Monitoring Plan
• Designing reports and metrics for central monitoring activities
• Supporting Clinical Research Associates for success in the new monitoring environment
• Preparing Investigators and site personnel for risk-based monitoring
Learning Objectives
- Compare and contrast risk-based monitoring with a traditional monitoring approach
- Identify program and study-level monitoring risks
- Develop a monitoring plan which focuses on mitigating risks at both the program and study levels
- List the activities, responsibilities, and outputs of Clinical Data Management in risk-based monitoring
- Describe approaches and techniques for central/remote monitoring and data review
- Predict changes for Investigators/sites as a result of wider adoption of risk-based monitoring
