ACRIN PDRC ACRIN Monitoring and Auditing Programs • To ensure study integrity and quality through data verification • To ensure safety and welfare of study participants • Continual assessment and review to ensure accuracy and completeness of study data and compliance through: • Review of Regulatory Requirements; • Review or Protocol Requirements; • Review of Participant Charts.
ACRIN PDRC ACRIN Monitoring Program • Monitoring at ACRIN consists of a remote review of all regulatory documents and participant chart(s) for source verification of the study data. • Monitoring reviews are implemented at various time points or rounds from initial participant enrollment and throughout the conduct of the trial. • The number of participant charts to be reviewed for each round of monitoring will be determined by: • study design; • the number of participants enrolled at each site; • scientific endpoints.
ACRIN PDRC ACRIN Auditing Program • Audits will be conducted on site. • The number of participant charts to be reviewed at each audit visit will be determined by the auditor. • The timing of initial on-site audit will depend on several factors including the following: • rate of accrual (both study-wide and site-specific); • the number of evaluable participants enrolled at an individual site; • the status of the protocol and pending amendments; • at least 3 months after an institution has been monitored; • after the number of evaluable participants reaches 30% of targeted accrual, either study-wide and/or site-specific; • closure of the study to accrual; • site-specific circumstances.
ACRIN PDRC ACRIN Auditing Program • Audits can be conducted more frequently at the discretion of the protocol team; • Subsequent audits will be scheduled per the outcome of the initial audit; • Major discrepancies will be forwarded to the appropriate oversight body within ACRIN; • The ACRIN Audit Manual is available online atwww.acrin.org/pdrc.aspx.
