Efficiencies When Delivering a Quality Database: Tools & Techniques for a Successful Clinical Trial

How do you instill quality and efficiencies into your clinical database from beginning to end? Join this webinar, hosted by PHASTAR and Medrio, for insight into steps you can take early in your trial that will optimize your operations throughout. Learn about implementing efficient processes and establishing the parameters that best equip you to assess the quality of your database. You’ll learn how to roll out a quality plan template at study setup and tailor it to meet the specific needs of your study. You’ll use this plan to identify the risks and processes around the review and cleaning of all data as well as the primary efficacy endpoints based on the protocol, analysis plan and, of course, the safety data. Moreover, you’ll learn how to define and set out the acceptance criteria for each of these items, including how and when the criteria will be assessed.

Speakers Sheelagh Aird, Head of Clinical Data Operations, and Gillian Childs, Principal Data Coordinator, of PHASTAR will explore how the ad-hoc browse data facility, data export options, and associated data management reports available in a cutting-edge electronic data capture solution provide the tools necessary to critically evaluate and assess study progress including data entry, data review, and the query metrics. They’ll show how the use of audit log reports, together with an interrogation of the audit trail, enables researchers to quantify risks and provide a full assessment of the acceptance/rejection criteria. Moreover, they’ll discuss how the ability to monitor these risks from the outset of the study enables researchers to address issues from an early stage by targeting the ‘tricky’ data items – thereby improving efficiency, as well as the quality of the data captured, at the earliest opportunity.

At PHASTAR, the constant strive for efficiencies whilst ensuring the delivery of a quality clinical database is paramount to the data management team. Join this webinar for insight into how you, like PHASTAR, can find success in this endeavor.
