In today’s risk-aversive clinical trial environment, few clearly defined methodologies exist to aid sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) in the identification, analysis and mitigation of monitoring risk factors for clinical trial conduct. Without a structured approach to model implementation, methodological variability may introduce process inefficiency, increased patient safety risk, increased operational expenditure and failure to improve overall trial quality and compliance.
While clinical trial data can indeed give some insight into safety and data quality, clinical trial data alone may miss certain issues. This is especially true with key indicators of site performance such as regulatory compliance and site engagement. All too often trial teams are caught off-guard by a site monitor's findings − when in fact − the issues could have been predicted using the right data analytics.
Many biopharmaceutical enterprises are still coping with executing successful RBM pilots because of organizational challenges. BMS, for example, had to implement a change management program that focused on education and communication of a new set of roles and responsibilities in order to enable RBM.
Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released guidance on the expanded use of RBM in 2011, there was still reluctance on the part of sponsors to take on a full-scale risk-based approach. Many were concerned that failing to conduct 100% source data verification (SDV) could lead to something being missed and the validity of trial data being compromised. In general, sponsors had misconceptions about the potential benefits of identifying, targeting and reducing risk.
Risk-based monitoring (RBM) is garnering enormous attention as a change agent in the conduct of clinical trials. This reimagined approach to monitoring promises to reduce the time-consuming and costly practice of on-site 100% source data verification while refocusing efforts on improving data quality. Given this capability, use of RBM is being encouraged by the Food and Drug Administration as well as the European Medicines Agency. To evaluate the current status of RBM, Metrics Champion Consortium recently conducted an in-depth survey on the subject.
