Site-Less CRO Model and esource: Framework for Action Joe Martinez, RPh, PDE, PPC Princeton, NJ
In-home and site-less clinical trials: changing the landscape How to test drugs, devices and procedures better How to get therapies to patients sooner and at less cost
In-home and site-less clinical trials: changing the landscape How to test drugs, devices and procedures better How to get therapies to patients sooner and at less cost Topics Current model overview Siteless CRO model overview esource Considerations
Drug Development Model 1970 s forward
Refuse-to-file @ FDA There has been a sharp increase in Refuse-to-File (RTFs) issued by the FDA from 2009 onwards 1 Main reasons include 2 Clinical data deficiencies and Data Presentation (~39%) CMC issues (~28%) ectd issues (25%) Other (8%) 1 June 2011 issue of Nature Reviews: Drug Discovery, Volume 10, page 403 2 Based on publically-available RFTs.

Site-less CRO and CTRP Hybrid Model Legacy CRO and Sites Sponso r Site-less CRO Legacy CRO and Research Sites Site-less CRO with CTRP Sites Sites * Works extremely well as hybrid model with existing or future clinical trials
Site-less Clinical Research Organization (CRO) Pharmacists facilitate recruitment, informed consent, enrollment, protocol understanding, and regulatory compliance: Enhances patient adherence to protocol Reduces patient withdrawal Reduces trial costs and time Patient Recruitment and Enrollment Contact Order Form Modular Approach CTRP w/ Patient-Centric Coordination: Remote visits In-home nurse visits Medical monitoring AE reporting and follow-up Direct-to-patient clinical supplies Blood labs and other ancillary services CTRP Pharmacist Coordination: Technology/Phone/Video Conferencing Legacy Model and Patient Office Visits: Site/Physical Office visit at baseline and end of study according to protocol CTRP - clinical trial research pharmacist
Technology Platform: Web and Mobile etraining and econsent Clinical Supply/Direct Shipping Patients are recruited Patient data are collected by technology program Additional trial processes include: etraining, econsent, Online Conferencing, Clinical Supplies Distribution, EDC, Safety/AE Online Conferencing EDC and Safety
Patient Enrollment/Screening and Patient Waiting Room Patient Enrollment functionality - will offer general patient management services in order to process site resupply calculations correctly but can be expanded to include additional. Patient Waiting Room - to provide needed resources with a complete overview of the trial and where each patient is currently at in process. The material contained in this presentation is proprietary and confidential. It is provided it to clients for their sole use. Access to this presentation should be restricted to authorized individuals. This document contain proprietary and confidential information.
Patient Visit Management and Site Supply Patient Visit Management - to correctly manage clinical supplies throughout the trial. initial Site Supply and dynamic Site Resupply - allows the ability to adjust site resupply requests in-trial and automatically send requests to the clinical supply vendor
Reports Reporting and system integration - includes a Dashboard with Key Risk Indicators

Clinical Data Management and EDC CRF Design, Database build & validation Edit checks programming and testing Data Management Plan (DMP) development Clinical data review and query management External data transfer and reconciliation AE, concomitant medication, and medical history coding SAE reconciliation Development of custom status reports Database lock procedures
Clinical Programming and Biostats Randomization Plan & sample size determination Development of Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) CDISC data conversion Statistical analysis Programming of tables, listings and figures (TLFs) Clinical programming for integrated safety and efficacy summaries (e.g., ISS/ISE) Statistical representation, programming of TLFs (data monitoring) and safety meetings (DMC/DSMB/DSMC) Clinical programming support for periodical reports (e.g. DSUR) Statistical reports
CDISC and its Standards CDISC The Clinical Data Interchange Consortium, non-profitable organization that defines the world-wide standards for representing clinical & non clinical data, required by the regulatory authorities as part of submissions. SDTM Study Data Tabulation Model, representing the collected clinical data in standardized structure and controlled terminology. ADaM Analysis Data Model, representing study analysis data in defined datasets structure. CDASH Clinicat Data Acquisition Standards Harmonisation, describes the basic recommended data collection fields SEND - Defining the structure and format of standard nonclinical tabulation datasets
Submission-ready Data Flow TLFs ADaM
Submission-Ready Clinical Data CDISC mandatory requirement Submission-Ready goes beyond CDISC Requirements are new - If you expect it, verify your CRO(S) will deliver Submission-Ready package
Features of Site-less CRO / esource trials Are conducted in participants homes via a central virtual coordinating center Use videoconferencing and other telehealth technologies to conduct trial activities such as recruitment, screening, informed consent, education, and data collection Allow direct communication and relationships between participants and a trusted study health professional (e.g., clinical trial research pharmacist [CTRP]) Maximize resources, study time, and return on investment via: Site-less CRO with CTRP services for recruiting, enrollment, and trial with in-country support In-home nursing services and Direct-to-Patient clinical medicines distribution Technology for data aggregation and ProRA (proactive risk assessment) Available from http://www.centerpointclinicalservices.com.
Studies suited to site-less CROs Site-less CROs are ideally used when: No office visits/assessments are required or remote assessments are appropriate Participants live in disparate or remote geographical areas Participants have complex diseases or other issues that make site visits difficult (e.g., those with disabilities or who need to be accompanied) Cold-chain medicines must be transported Study duration is long Site-less trials large or small can complement highly monitored phase 3 trials and reduce the time and cost of phase 3 programs.
