Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 4th Annual

Implementing Risk-Based Monitoring – Part 2:

Ensuring Effective and Efficient Monitoring and Data Quality
February 14-15, 2018 | Hyatt Regency Orlando | Orlando, FL

Risk-based monitoring (RBM) approaches promise to improve clinical trial efficiency while ensuring data quality. As industry adoption of RBM increases, it is clear that although RBM takes many forms – remote, centralized, and risk-based monitoring – successful risk-based monitoring implementation requires developing new roles, analytics and processes among the stakeholders in RBM. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 4^th Annual Implementing Risk-Based Monitoring – Part 2: Ensuring Effective and Efficient Monitoring and Data Quality conference offers case studies and practical solutions from across pharma and TransCelerate member organizations on effectively implementing clinical quality and RBM as well as a prospective look into the future of RBM.

12:10 pm Bridging Luncheon Presentation: Extracting Data from the EHR Dramatically Reduces the Need for Manual Monitoring - New Standards Make this Possible

Kim_Rejndrup Kim Rejndrup, Senior Vice President, Product Development, OmniComm

The typical workflow at an investigate site is for the patient data to be entered into the Electronic Health Record, then for the study coordinator to re-type that data into the EDC system. A big component of the subsequent Source Data Verification is simply checking that the retyping was done accurately. If data could instead flow automatically from the EHR system, with the coordinator just verifying the data in transit, then both the data entry and the subsequent SDV can be automated. New standards and technologies being introduced under the “SMART on FHIR” umbrella now make this possible. This presentation will describe the state of the art in this exciting new field.

Geraldine_Baggs Geraldine Baggs, Ph.D., Principal Research Statistician, Statistical Sciences, ANRD Scientific and Medical Affairs, Abbott Nutrition

Dione_Smart Dione Smart, Research Data Coordinator, Clinical Data Management, Abbott Nutrition

Sue_Zhang Xiaosong (Sue) Zhang, MS, MAS, Staff Statistical Analyst, Clinical Program & System Support, Abbott Nutrition

Abbott Nutrition has established a cross-functional RBM task force to address changes brought about by implementing RBM. Members from the following groups: Stats, ClinOps, Programming, and CDM will discuss change management, their successes and challenges, refinements and tools in their journey to implementing RBM.

4:55 Think You’re ICH E6 Compliant? Show Me the Quality Tolerance Limits

Dan_OConnell Dan O'Connell, Principal, RBM Platform Adoption, Medidata

ICH E6 Good-Clinical-Practice Guideline addendum directs sponsors to decide which risks to reduce and/or which to accept, predefining quality tolerance limits(QTLs), taking into consideration the medical/statistical characteristics of the variables and the statistical design of the trial, to identify systematic issues that can impact subject safety or reliability of trial. The presentation will cover history behind QTLs, difference between QTLs and KRIs and mechanisms to establish, track and report deviations of QTLs in the CSR.

5:25 RBM Journey: RBM 1.0 to RBM 2.0 with Case Study on a Pilot

Nurcan_Coskun Nurcan Coskun, Ph.D., Global Risk Based Monitoring Program and Technology Solutions Manager, Medtronic

This presentation will discuss: 1. Harmonization of two organizations RBM methodology in Medical Device setting, 2. Future state process development with tools and transition to system and technology solutions, 3. Sharing a case study of RBM 2.0 pilot implementation, and 4. The challenges around change management and getting everyone aligned to the same direction in a multi-BU company like ours as part of the journey.

7:45 Breakfast Presentation: Clinical Trial Operations Insights Evolved via Accenture Life Sciences Cloud

Chandi_Kodthiwada Chandi Kodthiwada, Product Manager, Accenture Life Sciences Cloud (ALSC), Accenture

Chances are you have spent a meaningful amount of time on one of the below questions: How do you assess your Clinical Trial operational efficiency? How do I stay on top of Site behavior? How do you maintain Vendor-Oversight? In the presentation, we will go through Accenture Life Sciences Cloud(ALSC) - Clinical Operations Insights Platform(COIP) and our work with Metrics Champion Consortium(MCC) to answer the above questions.

RBM: WHERE ARE WE AND WHAT IS NEXT?

8:30 Chairperson’s Remarks

Andy Lawton, Director & Consultant, Risk Based Approach Ltd.

8:35 Best Practices and Observations from Implementing TransCelerate’s Risk-Based Monitoring Model Framework

Suzanne_Lukac Suzanne Lukac, Director, Risk-Based Monitoring Implementation, Merck

Although Regulators were urging companies to move to a risk-based approach, no model framework existed to enable organizations to successfully deploy and scale risk-based monitoring. To address this, a collaboration of 18+ Sponsor Companies worked in an unprecedented way to develop a model approach for risk-based monitoring. This session will share the latest work of this initiative, including new tools to assist implementation, best practices for adoption, and post-adoption metrics and observations.

9:00 Developing a Risk Repository

Adrienne_Strickler Adrienne Strickler, Associate Director, Risk Management-Central Monitoring, Janssen

What comes next after your Risk-Based Monitoring process is established? Process improvement! After 4 years of RBM at Janssen R&D, our portfolio has grown to include well over 150 trials and we are now able to gain efficiencies by applying lessons learned across similar studies. One key way to do so is through a central risk repository that can be used to streamline RBM set-up and implementation for new trials.
