A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Clinical Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of XYZ Versus Corticosteroid for the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis (LE), Protocol Number ASUCNHI/XYZ-LE/16-17/001
Overview
21 CFR 312.50 spells out the responsibilities of the study sponsor in the management of clinical trial data and the verification of study data for completeness and accuracy. Thorough review of source data is important to ensure adequate protection of the rights, welfare, and safety of human subjects and the quality and integrity of the clinical investigation data. (FDA, 2013). Sponsor review of source data includes meeting the regulatory requirements for recordkeeping and data verification by use of the ALCOA principle. ALCOA is the acronym for the required components of data. These include:
A = Attributable: originator of the data; who entered the data; audit trail
L = Legible: human readable form, modifications should not obscure original data; audit trail
C = Contemporaneous: time of data entry should be close to when procedure performed; audit trail
O = Original: earliest record, modifications should not obscure original data; audit trail
A = Accurate: correct and complete; valid representation of source data, corrections documented, quality processes/measures used; audit trail.
SWP builds it data management plans around the ALCOA principles with the expectation that chosen study sites comply with ALCOA and the SWP Data Management Plan.

Data Collection
All study data is to be collected and recorded at the time the
event/procedure occurs, whether electronically or on paper.
Electronic Data
The following data components will be collected electronically
and transferred directly to the electronic data capture (EDC)
system:
· Blood pressure measures
· Randomization
· Ultrasound readings
· VAS data/scores
· ASES data/scores
· PRTEE data/scores
Equipment used to record these data will be connected to the
EDC system through software provided by SWP
Pharmaceuticals. SWP Pharmaceuticals will provide physician
assessor with tablet containing assessments and connected to
the EDC for automatic transmission of assessment scores.
Paper
The remaining data points will be collected on the paper CRF
provided by SWP Pharmaceuticals. Data collected on source
documents, such as urine pregnancy will be transferred from
source to CRF. The site is responsible for maintaining a subject
binder for each subject that includes all CRFs, source
documents, notes to file, informed consent, and other essential
20. documents. Subject binders must be stored in a locked area with
limited access.
Data Validation
The use of a second staff member to enter data provides a
second check of data. The EDC has checks and balances
included in the program to verify data is entered correctly.
Parameters are built around the data points (such as date limits,
age boundaries, proper format of data) to ensure incorrect data
options cannot be entered into the system.
Transfer of Data
Data collected on CRFs should be transferred to the EDC on the
same day as the subject visit, but no later than two (2) business
days after date of subject visit. Data should be entered by a
study staff member different from the staff member who
collected the data. This will provide a second check for
accuracy of data.
Data Access
Only study personnel who have signed a confidentiality
agreement and require access to study data to perform their job
responsibilities are allowed access to study data. Each person
with access must have a verified e-signature on file, and have
been assigned an individual and confidential identification and
password.
IDs and passwords must not be shared with other staff. Only the
assigned individual is to use the password. Passwords must be
changed every 180 days, no password can be used more than
once. Passwords must be 8 – 16 characters and include at least
one uppercase letter, one number and one of the following
special characters & % # - _ ( ). The sponsor should review the
21. site policy to verify that it includes specific instructions to not
share access codes and passwords.
When a staff member is no longer employed, their ID and
password must be removed by the system administrator within
24 hours. When a staff member is terminated their ID and
password must be removed immediately.
Investigator Responsibilities
· The site investigator is responsible for ensuring that study
data is accurate and complete. This is accomplished by
assigning qualified staff to the collect study data and enter data
into the EDC.
· The investigator must review subject CRFs that have been
entered into the EDC, date and sign that they have been
reviewed and are complete.
· Investigator must ensure that data is entered into the EDC
within set time.
Ensure that sites AEs and SAEs are reported to the DSMB on a
quarterly basis by required deadline.
· The investigator is responsible for storing study records for
the time required by the FDA and/or agreed upon in the clinical
trial agreement between the site and the sponsor.
Sponsor Responsibilities
· The sponsor will provide the EDC system and provide training
to appropriate staff.
· The sponsor will provide the study site with CRFs.
· The sponsor will provide tablets with software installed to
transmit electronically captured data to the EDC.
· Sponsor will assign a clinical research associate (CRA) to
monitor the site verifying study data and site compliance with
protocol, GCPs and applicable regulations.
· The sponsor will provide the DSMB report to each study site
22. within 30 days of the DSMB meeting.
Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB)
SWP Pharmaceuticals has assigned a DSMB for this study who
will review adverse and serious adverse events for trends and
possible safety issues. The DSMB will meet on a quarterly basis
to review safety data from all study sites. Each study site must
submit AEs and SAEs to the DSMB fifteen (15) days prior to
the scheduled meeting. The DSMB will submit quarterly review
reports to the sponsor who will submit copies of report to each
study site (within 30 days of the DSMB meeting).
Monitoring
The CRA will monitor the site on a regular basis. Monitoring
will consist of reviewing data via the EDC at a central location
and by visits at the study site. While on site the monitor will
review subject binders to verify data against source documents
and check that the data is complete and accurate. When visiting
study sites the monitor will also review study records and the
conduct of the study for compliance with GCPs, study protocol,
and applicable regulations. (Details of monitoring can be found
in the Sponsor Monitoring Plan - refer Exercise 1.2: Sample
Answer).
When a monitor identifies data that is incorrect or incomplete,
he or she will generate a data query via the EDC and assign it to
the study coordinator or the staff member who was the
originator of the data. The originator of the data is responsible
for reviewing and resolving the query within two (2) business
days of being notified that the query has been generated in the
EDC. Queries are to be resolved via the EDC.
Record Storage & Maintenance
23. All study documents must be stored in a safe and secure
location for a period of two (2) years post approval of the
medical product or two years post termination of the study or
records are to be stored longer by request of sponsor as covered
in the clinical trial agreement (CTA). The site will provide the
sponsor with the name and location of storage facility. At the
end of the required period the site is responsible for destroying
the records in a confidential manner. A note or copy of receipt
of destruction of records will be sent by the site to the Sponsor.
DATA MANAGEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
A study sponsor should create a Data Management Plan for the
study protocol. This plan should be shared with each of the
study sites. The management plan is created to ensure that data
is collected and managed properly and in compliance with
current applicable regulations and guidelines. Each site can
modify the data management plan to include site specifics, such
as individuals responsible for collecting data, oversight,
equipment used, and policies for access.
The FDA provides guidance documents and regulations (21 CFR
11) related to managing data collected in clinical trials.
Guidance includes the capture, review, and retention of
electronic source data in FDA-regulated clinical investigations.
The guidance is the FDAs effort to ensure the reliability,
quality, integrity, and traceability of data from electronic source
to electronic regulatory submission. (FDA, 2013).
In Guidance for Industry Electronic Source Data in Clinical
Investigations (2013) the FDA provides the following
definitions related to data management:
· An “electronic record as any combination of text, graphics,
data, audio, pictorial, or other information represented in digital
form that is created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved,
or distributed by a computer system.”
24. · “An eCRF is an example of an electronic record. The eCRF is
an auditable electronic record of information that generally is
reported to the sponsor on each trial subject, according to a
clinical investigation protocol. The eCRF enables clinical
investigation data to be systematically captured, reviewed,
managed, stored, analyzed, and reported.”
· “Source data includes all information in original records and
certified copies of original records of clinical findings,
observations, or other activities in a clinical investigation used
for reconstructing and evaluating the investigation.”
A Data Management Plan should include the following:
· Data Elements - smallest unit of observation collected on a
clinical trial subject. Examples of data elements are weight,
height, race, pain severity, etc.
· Data Originators - each data element is associated with an
originator, which is the source of that data. Originators might
include the study coordinator, the investigator, medical devices
such as EKG, consultants, etc.
· eCRFs - the electronic record where data elements are
captured.
· Source Documents - the original source of the data element,
which can be paper-based or electronic. The source data might
be manually entered into the eCRF (for example a radiology
report) or electronically transmitted by a medical device (blood
pressure monitor).
· Transfer of Source Data Elements into EDC
Paper - manually transferred into the eCRF. The person
transcribing the data from the paper source is considered the
data originator.
Electronic Transmission - automatic transmission from the
device into the eCRF.
· Access - limited access to data by appropriate study staff is
important. Access should only be granted to the investigator,
study coordinator, data entry staff (if applicable), and data
manager (if applicable). Data management must comply with
25. security and privacy measures covered in 21 CFR 11 and
HIPAA. The data management plan should include a list of
individuals with access to the eCRFs. Individuals with access
should have completed appropriate training. Individuals with
access should have their own identification codes and
passwords. Site policy should include specific instructions to
not share access codes and passwords and the consequences of
doing so.
· Data Element Identifiers - this is the information that
identifies the data originator. These identifiers include:date and
time of data entry, originator identification, the subject tied to
the data, any changes made and who made the change, when and
the reason for change.
· Modifications and Corrections – all data must provide a
complete audit trail that allows the reconstruction of the data
from initial entry. Only the investigator or qualified clinical
study staff should perform modifications to the data.
· Data Review
· Investigator - the investigator is responsible for the conduct of
the study and should review and electronically sign-off on
eCRFs.
· Monitor - the sponsor is responsible for verifying the data
collected in the study is accurate and complete. A clinical
research associate (CRA), representative from the sponsor must
monitor the study data on a regular basis.
· DSMB - depending on the risk involved in a study, an
independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) may be
assigned to review study events to determine that the risk to the
subjects is not too great. This board will look for trends in
adverse and serious adverse events and provide
recommendations on study safety.
· Retention of Records - the investigator is responsible for
ensuring that study records are accurate and complete, storing,
and maintaining the study records for the required time.
