ICOPhone - Site Activation/Deactivation • Site activation & initiation • Indicates a site is ready to begin enrolling and triggers UserIDs to be sent to users • Authorizes optional initial shipment of drug to the site • Visit closure • Denies access for individual visits at site, country or study level • Study termination • Denies ICOPhone access to all users • Site suspension and/or deactivation • All user accounts are disabled, & ICOPhone access is denied for site staff • Drug can be suspended • Can immediately shut down individual users or the entire site
ICOPhone - Screening/Re-screening/Enrollment • Built around inclusion/exclusion criteria • Allows assignment of patient identifiers • e.g. screening #, patient ID • “Caps” can be implemented by site, country or entire study to prevent over-enrolling • Collection of demographic data • Assignment of lead-in drug
ICOPhone - Screen Failure/Discontinuation • Registers screen fails and discontinuations • Tracks reasons for withdraw • Allows for real-time tracking of subjects current status
ICOPhone - Randomization • Manage complex randomization schemes • Multiple strata • Multiple patient cohorts/subsets • Programmable for dynamic randomization • Minimization, biased coin, dose titration, etc. • Randomization schedules generated by Biostatistics • Subjects assigned to treatment at randomization
ICOPhone - Drug Management • Manage study drug inventory & track in real time • Allocate drug as needed • Reduces supply waste & costs • Allows for complex dosing of patients (titration studies) • Allows for flexible distribution of study supplies • Includes re-supplying subjects mid-study • Manage drug expiry • Forecasting/Projection Algorithms • Drug quantity projected based on patients’ progression • Utilize primary/secondary forecasting windows lag times included • Account for minus side of visit windows & stratification factors
ICOPhone - Emergency Unblinding • Provide investigators with the ability to break study blind at any time • Automatically notifies sponsor of all code-breaks • Maintains blind with study team and monitors - unless otherwise specified by sponsor • Access to feature is controlled & requires proper user verification • Role-based and unique identification number
