SWP PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. - DATA MANAGEMENT PLAN
A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Clinical Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of XYZ Versus Corticosteroid for the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis (LE), Protocol Number ASUCNHI/XYZ-LE/16-17/001
Overview
21 CFR 312.50 spells out the responsibilities of the study sponsor in the management of clinical trial data and the verification of study data for completeness and accuracy. Thorough review of source data is important to ensure adequate protection of the rights, welfare, and safety of human subjects and the quality and integrity of the clinical investigation data. (FDA, 2013). Sponsor review of source data includes meeting the regulatory requirements for recordkeeping and data verification by use of the ALCOA principle. ALCOA is the acronym for the required components of data. These include:
A = Attributable: originator of the data; who entered the data; audit trail
L = Legible: human readable form, modifications should not obscure original data; audit trail
C = Contemporaneous: time of data entry should be close to when procedure performed; audit trail
O = Original: earliest record, modifications should not obscure original data; audit trail
A = Accurate: correct and complete; valid representation of source data, corrections documented, quality processes/measures used; audit trail.
SWP builds it data management plans around the ALCOA principles with the expectation that chosen study sites comply with ALCOA and the SWP Data Management Plan.
Definitions:
· Data Element - smallest unit of information collected on a clinical trial subject
· Data Originator – original source of the data; may be electronic or human; tied to the data element
· eCRF – electronic Case Report Form
· Source Data - original data (electronic or written)
· EDC - Electronic Data Capture System is provided by the sponsor, data base is created to collected subject data and follows the eCRF format. Data will be either manually entered into the EDC or transferred from a paper form and entered by an individual or automatic transmission from the device into the eCRF.
· Paper - paper forms used to collect subject data
· Electronic - data electronically transferred to the EDC such as EKG results, blood pressure monitors
· Data Element Identifiers – data that identifies the originator including log-in credentials, password, date, time, and subject tied to data.
· Access - Access to study data is limited to study staff who record the data, review the data, and enter the data. For the sponsor, the site monitor generally referred to as a Clinical Research Associate (CRA), statisticians, data entry and data management staff.
· Data Review -
· Data must be reviewed by the study site monitor to verify accuracy and completeness.
· Data reviewed by study coordinator
· Data reviewed by Data entry and data management staff
· Data entered into the EDC must be reviewed and electronically signed off by site investigator
· DSMB - Data Safety Monitoring Board. SWP has assigned a DSMB for this study. All adverse events and serious adverse events will be submitted to the DSMB for review. Events to be submitted on a quarterly basis.
· Clinical Research Associate (CRA)/Monitor - Sponsor representative responsible for monitoring the study site to verify subject data and compliance with study protocol and applicable regulations.
· Data Queries - When a monitor notes an inconsistency in data or incorrect data, the monitor will create a query. The individual responsible for the data must review the data query and correct inaccuracies, etc. All queries will be reported and resolved through the EDC system.

Data Collection
All study data is to be collected and recorded at the time the event/procedure occurs, whether electronically or on paper.
Electronic Data
The following data components will be collected electronically and transferred directly to the electronic data capture (EDC) system:
· Blood pressure measures
· Randomization
· Ultrasound readings
· VAS data/scores
· ASES data/scores
· PRTEE data/scores
Equipment used to record these data will be connected to the EDC system through software provided by SWP Pharmaceuticals. SWP Pharmaceuticals will provide physician assessor with tablet containing assessments and connected to the EDC for automatic transmission of assessment scores.
Paper
The remaining data points will be collected on the paper CRF provided by SWP Pharmaceuticals. Data collected on source documents, such as urine pregnancy will be transferred from source to CRF. The site is responsible for maintaining a subject binder for each subject that includes all CRFs, source documents, notes to file, informed consent, and other essential documents. Subject binders must be stored in a locked area with limited access.
Data Validation
The use of a second staff member to enter data provides a second check of data. The EDC has checks and balances included in the program to verify data is entered correctly. Parameters are built around the data points (such as date limits, age boundaries, proper format of data) to ensure incorrect data options cannot be entered into the system.
Transfer of Data
Data collected on CRFs should be transferred to the EDC on the same day as the subject visit, but no later than two (2) business days after date of subject visit. Data should be entered by a study staff member different from the staff member who collected the data. This will provide a second check for accuracy of data.
Data Access
Only study personnel who have signed a confidentiality agreement and require access to study data to perform their job responsibilities are allowed access to study data. Each person with access must have a verified e-signature on file, and have been assigned an individual and confidential identification and password.
IDs and passwords must not be shared with other staff. Only the assigned individual is to use the password. Passwords must be changed every 180 days, no password can be used more than once. Passwords must be 8 – 16 characters and include at least one uppercase letter, one number and one of the following special characters & % # - _ ( ). The sponsor should review the site policy to verify that it includes specific instructions to not share access codes and passwords.
When a staff member is no longer employed, their ID and password must be removed by the system administrator within 24 hours. When a staff member is terminated their ID and password must be removed immediately.
Investigator Responsibilities
· The site investigator is responsible for ensuring that study data is accurate and complete. This is accomplished by assigning qualified staff to the collect study data and enter data into the EDC.
· The investigator must review subject CRFs that have been entered into the EDC, date and sign that they have been reviewed and are complete.
· Investigator must ensure that data is entered into the EDC within set time.
Ensure that sites AEs and SAEs are reported to the DSMB on a quarterly basis by required deadline.
· The investigator is responsible for storing study records for the time required by the FDA and/or agreed upon in the clinical trial agreement between the site and the sponsor.
Sponsor Responsibilities
· The sponsor will provide the EDC system and provide training to appropriate staff.
· The sponsor will provide the study site with CRFs.
· The sponsor will provide tablets with software installed to transmit electronically captured data to the EDC.
· Sponsor will assign a clinical research associate (CRA) to monitor the site verifying study data and site compliance with protocol, GCPs and applicable regulations.
· The sponsor will provide the DSMB report to each study site within 30 days of the DSMB meeting.
Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB)
SWP Pharmaceuticals has assigned a DSMB for this study who will review adverse and serious adverse events for trends and possible safety issues. The DSMB will meet on a quarterly basis to review safety data from all study sites. Each study site must submit AEs and SAEs to the DSMB fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled meeting. The DSMB will submit quarterly review reports to the sponsor who will submit copies of report to each study site (within 30 days of the DSMB meeting).
Monitoring
The CRA will monitor the site on a regular basis. Monitoring will consist of reviewing data via the EDC at a central location and by visits at the study site. While on site the monitor will review subject binders to verify data against source documents and check that the data is complete and accurate. When visiting study sites the monitor will also review study records and the conduct of the study for compliance with GCPs, study protocol, and applicable regulations. (Details of monitoring can be found in the Sponsor Monitoring Plan - refer Exercise 1.2: Sample Answer).
When a monitor identifies data that is incorrect or incomplete, he or she will generate a data query via the EDC and assign it to the study coordinator or the staff member who was the originator of the data. The originator of the data is responsible for reviewing and resolving the query within two (2) business days of being notified that the query has been generated in the EDC. Queries are to be resolved via the EDC.
Record Storage & Maintenance
All study documents must be stored in a safe and secure location for a period of two (2) years post approval of the medical product or two years post termination of the study or records are to be stored longer by request of sponsor as covered in the clinical trial agreement (CTA). The site will provide the sponsor with the name and location of storage facility. At the end of the required period the site is responsible for destroying the records in a confidential manner. A note or copy of receipt of destruction of records will be sent by the site to the Sponsor.
