Immediate access to training materials upon enrollment. Description:  The sponsor of a clinical trial needs to reach agreement with clinical investigators to conduct the trial. The suitability of investigators and their institutional sites, typically hospitals, has to be evaluated, and the trial has to be set up at each site. This module describes the processes involved, focusing particularly on the role of a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) employed or contracted by the sponsor to monitor the trial. The purpose of investigational site evaluation and set-up is to ensure that the site has access to the required patient population, has appropriately qualified, trained and committed staff with adequate time and facilities, and that it is fully prepared for the safe and successful conduct of the clinical trial. In this module we set out the criteria, procedures and documentation for evaluating a site and setting up a trial there. Certification Requirements: Students must view the entire course and successfully pass an online, multiple-choice final assessment within a 12-month period. A certificate of completion is immediately accessible in PDF format after satisfying the requirements. Biopharma Institute certificates and digital badges include the date of completion, but do not have an expiration date. However, compliance training is typically considered valid for a period of 3 years. Many organizations suggest that compliance training should be refreshed at least every three years to stay up to date with regulations, standards, guidelines, and to reinforce the importance of maintaining compliance. The validity period for employee compliance training would be determined by those responsible for managing quality assurance. Biopharma Institute's online training courses include immediate access after enrollment. Username, password, and instructions are emailed to the student directly following online enrollment into the program. Course takers may attempt the final assessment any number of times, as needed, to achieve a passing score. The certificate of completion is instantaneously launched and made available to the student in a PDF format upon completion. Once all training requirements have been satisfied the achievement can be verified from our website using the unique ID code found on the certificate. Professional certification programs issue a digital badge to verify training and document the achievement. These digital badges can be displayed on social networking sites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Badgr. |
Outline:Module overview Sets out the module's scope, objectives and notes on terminology. Investigational site qualification Each candidate investigational site needs to be assessed for its suitability for the trial. A CRA and/or other representatives of the sponsor will typically visit the site to discuss the trial with the potential investigator and learn about the resources that can be deployed there. In this session we describe the objectives of the visit, preparation for it, and its conduct. We set out factors that should be assessed and give examples of the sorts of issues that may arise. Preparation for trial initiation When one or more investigational sites are approved by the sponsor, various activities are carried out concurrently in preparation for the start of a trial. In this short session we outline the tasks leading up to site initiation. Trial initiation at an investigational site An initiation visit is made to ensure that the participating site is ready for the conduct of the clinical trial and that the relevant personnel have a clear and accurate understanding of how the study is to be conducted. The CRA will review the clinical protocol and procedures with the team, check that all study materials are in place and that facilities and equipment are ready, ensure that the investigator's trial master file (TMF) is in order, and confirm the monitoring plan and provisions for audit and inspection. We describe the actions that should be carried out. Assessment Multiple-choice mastery assessment. | Objectives:Who will benefit from this module? The module is primarily aimed at those involved in clinical research and development, in particular the monitoring of clinical trials at the investigational site, and those who require an understanding of what this entails. It and its companion module (Course ID: GCP002) provide a comprehensive introduction to the field for new CRAs/monitors, or additional training and professional development for those already working in the field. Clinical trial administrators and study coordinators who require more training in order to enter the wider CRA employment market will also benefit from the module. Learning objectives
