  16. Site Activation Site Deactivation Emergency Unblinding Sponsor- Data Management Commonly Used System Modules: • Benefits: • System provides a simple option for enabling and disabling the sites • Sponsors can modify site parameters through site flags or caps • Sponsors can receive alerts, reports and notifications when events occur « Menu

  17. Site – Data Management • Commonly Used System Modules: • Subject Screening • Subject Randomization • Subject Discontinuation • Emergency Unblinding • Subject Resupply promotes Efficiency ensuresSafety • Benefits: • Screening helps determine if subject meet eligibility criteria • Randomization helps maintaining balance in treatment arms while maintaining the blind • Discontinuation helps Sponsors key metrics • Emergency unblinding expedites the Sponsor notification and reporting process easy Access to data « Menu

  18. Services Offered – Biostatistics Randomization services List Specification Guidance Drug Supply Management Subject and Pack List Generation Complex and client specific randomization schemes Logistics of how randomization list is used in the IVR Adaptive trial design and logistics of implementation of these complex trial designs Within the (sponsor) team and the technology Bid defense (Business Development) « Menu

  21. Consultation on designing longitudinal studies Clinical trials or epidemiological studies Knowledge of SAS programming and Data sets  Data Integration Data base structures Client specific randomization EDC and data management Consultation on establishing patient registries Services Offered – Biostatistics « Menu

  22. Biostatistics - Randomization List Generation Independent biostatistics team within Interactive Technologies: Interactive Technologies Biostatistician and SAS programmer assigned to every project Support the generation of many subject and pack randomization list designs including: Replacement strategy Re-randomization Multiple stratification factors Multiple drug ratios Latin square « Menu

  23. Biostatistics - Randomization List Generation Randomization list specifications captured in separate documents Requirements documents are separate from main system requirements in order to: Capture randomization list requirements in greater detail Maintain the study blind May contain additional logical rules Approval of test and live subject/pack randomization Lists Unblinded statistical services available Approval of test and live randomization lists Approval of list generation documentation Confirmation of successful IVR system load « Menu

  24. Biostatistics – Adaptive Randomization • Statistical consultation is available for the management of mis-randomizations that have a higher consequence in an adaptive randomization. • ICON’s service regarding adaptive randomization also includes the development of customized web reports, available in real time to unblinded staff members. These three customized web reports: • Track the randomization events for individual subjects • Show the cumulative balance within strata by treatment groups • Show the impact of special cases on the randomizations « Menu

  25. Biostatistics – Adaptive Randomization • Eva Miller, Ph.D., Director, Biostatistics, Interactive Technologies, works with the project statistician to delineate the adaptive randomization algorithm in scientific terms such that the algorithm can be appended to the protocol. • The specification of the adaptive randomization algorithm must meet regulatory standards of replicability: • given a particular set of randomization counts, a probability value, and the logic of the algorithm, there can be one and only one treatment assignment per subject. • Following the algorithm specification, the client can provide simulations for “black box” testing or ICON Clinical Research can provide simulations for the client statistician’s review. « Menu

  26. Drug Management « Menu

  27. Drug Supply Management • System Modules and Capabilities: • Automated drug ordering • Replace Kit Module • Resupply Expiration Tracking • Visit Projection • Inventory Tracking • Benefits: • Comprehensive Inventory Management • Allows for a study to start with a minimum of packaged drug « Menu

  28. Drug Supply Management System selects the appropriate kit based on site inventory and study randomization scheme System sends resupply drug order to depot to resupply dispensed kits Study Coordinator calls System for subject resupply visit Sponsor can monitor site and study levels via alerts and web reports « Menu

  29. Drug Management Goal • ICON’s typical drug management scheme utilizes an algorithm that is successful in: • Minimizing the number of shipments created • Minimizing amount of drug wastage « Menu

  30. Site Drug Management Scheme – Visit Schedule • A pre-defined visit schedule is needed for each treatment arm • User defines visit schedule • Expected visit day is defined for each visit • System uses visit schedule to ‘project’ when drug is needed at the site for each patient • Flexible enough for titrations • Start and Stop Visits are configurable within the system • Start visit: when projection starts for a subject i.e. enrollment or randomization visit • Stop visit: when project ends for a subject. « Menu

  31. Site Drug Management Scheme – Short Window / Projected Need • Short Window • timeframe used to determine the number of each kit type that will be allocated to active subjects at the site, that is to be included in the calculation of the Projected Need • Used to identify ‘if’ a shipment needs to be sent • Flag driven and defined in User Requirements • Projected Need for each kit type • [(# of kits needed for each active subject to be supplied at all visits within the short projection window + trigger level value) - (# kits in transit + # kits available at the site + # kits pending at the site)] • If projected need for any kit type >/= 0 then shipment needs to be generated « Menu

  32. Site Drug Management Scheme – Long Window / Quantity to Ship 2. Long Window • timeframe used to determine the number of each kit type that will be allocated to active subjects at the site, that is to be included in the calculation of the Quantity to Ship • Used to identify how much to send in a shipment • Flag driven and found in User Requirements • Quantity to Ship • Identified for each kit type • [(# of kits needed for each active subject to be supplied at all visits within the LONG projection window + ‘RESUPPLY up to’ value) - (# kits in transit + # kits available at the site + # kits pending at the site) ] « Menu

  33. Site Drug Management Scheme – Short Window / Projected Need • Projected Need for each kit type Short Window • Timeframe used to determine the number of each kit type that will be allocated to active subjects at the site, that is to be included in the calculation of the Projected Need • Used to identify ‘if’ a shipment needs to be sent • Flag driven and defined in User Requirements • [(# of kits needed for each active subject to be supplied at all visits within the short projection window + trigger level value) - (# kits in transit + # kits available at the site + # kits pending at the site)] • If projected need for any kit type >/= 0 then shipment needs to be generated Phase II: « Menu
