Avoid common mistakes in registering clinical trials and
reporting results
5
Avoid common mistakes in registering clinical trials and reporting results
Academic Medical Center policy/ process The (very busy) user
Tackle the situation from different perspectives
What are the common mistakes??
• Studies are not registered• Incorrect Responsible Party is listed• Records are not ‘approved’ or ‘released’• Records are not ‘updated’• Study is overdue for results reporting• CT.gov QA comments are not addressed• Clinical trials…what?!?!

Strategies to Consider for Registration
88
Strategies for Registration
Full Service
Automated System:eIRB system identifies applicable trials Mapping to ClinicalTrials.gov fields System notifies Investigators of applicable trials System emails ClinicalTrials.gov to obtain user account Sends reminders via automatic compliance monitoring
Self Service
99
Strategies for Registration
Department Administrators fulfills registration role
orPRS Administrator fulfills registration role Identifies applicable trials Registers (sends to RP for release) Update as needed
Full Service Self Service
1010
Strategies for Registration
Add on to existing system:eIRB application includes CT.gov module - identifies applicable trials - identifies the RP - directs PIs to appropriate resources if questions Continuing review eIRB application - Update reminders - Tracks primary endpoint completion Compliance also monitored via PRS administrators

Strategies for Registration
Investigators are ‘on their own’!
Full Service Self Service

Background: Responsible Party (FDAAA)
The Responsible Party (RP) defined as… • IND / IDE holder• If no IND/IDE:
– The industry, cooperative group, consortium or other external sponsor that initiated the study
– If initiated by a Principal Investigator• The grantee institution • If no external funding, the PI
1313
Background: Responsible Party (FDAAA)RP can be designated to another party that:• Is responsible for conducting the study• Has access to and control over the data• Has the right to publish the trial results, AND• Has the ability to meet the requirements
Example of RP designation• PI initiated study at Institution X funded by
NHLBI– Institution X is the grant recipient (X = RP)– Institution X can designate the PI as the RP
1414
Strategies to Consider: Managing the RP• Who is designated the RP at your
institution?– Institution vs. the Principal Investigator– Ensure your institutional policy addresses this
• If the RP is designated to PI, how do you acknowledge this?
– Rely on policy– Require PI to acknowledge responsibilities per
protocol • Letter outlining responsibilities • Embed in eIRB CT.gov section of application • Require this prior to IRB approval
1515
Strategies to Consider: Managing the RP - 2• The Responsible Party has to release the
record!– Draft template language and use in every
communication with Responsible Parties– Check the CT.gov ‘Problems List’ for ‘Never
Released’– Interesting in publishing? Remind
Investigators that registration must be complete before 1st subject is enrolled to be compliant with ICMJE!
1616
Strategies to Consider for Results Reporting• Integrate a ‘smart form’ into your system
that tracks primary endpoint completion– Ask if this is still realistic– If overdue for results reporting, initiate a
consistent means of communication
• Check the CT.gov ‘Problems List’ for ‘Late Results – per FDAAA’
– Communicate to Investigators via a heavy hitter if you need to (e.g. Institutional Official)
• ClinicalTrials.gov Results Database Train-the-Trainers workshops
Strategies to Consider for Registration and Results Reporting: the BASICS
Questions that cause ‘?’s
What is FDAAA?•Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) (Sept 27, 2007)•Scope: Expanded current clinical trial registration requirements with new results reporting provision•Added enforcement provisions and penalties•Impacts all Applicable Clinical Trials (ACTs) initiated on or after 9/27/2007 or ongoing as of 12/26/2007
18
FDAAA (con’t)
• Two main categories– Trial Registration no later than 21 days after
enrollment of the first subject– Results Reporting within 12 months of the
primary completion date• Includes AE reporting• Extensions sometimes permitted
19
FDAAA (con’t)
• What is an Applicable Clinical Trial (ACT)
– Intervention (drug, biologic, device)
– FDA-approved drug, biologic, and/or device
– IND/IDE
20
FDAAA (con’t)
• What is not an ACT?– Not conducted and manufactured within US
FDA jurisdiction– Phase I – Pilot– Observational– Behavioral– Registries
21
Exceptions to FDAAA?
If this is not an applicable clinical trial, registration and results reporting may still be done based on PIs preference, industry’s request, NIH request, or journal’s requirement
** Once registered, CT.gov states record cannot be removed
22
Objective: Starting from scratch!
• Obtain access
• Complete registration
• Update every 6 months– May update as needed
• Report results within 12 months after last subject meets primary endpoint– May request extension
23
Obtain access
• Contact local PRS Administrator
• Obtain temp password and login ID
• Have protocol available– Complete a worksheet prior to entering data*
• Select ‘Create’
• Complete required data fields
24
Complete registration
• Answer each question.• If “WARNING“ followed by a statement appears,
this means you cannot approve and release the record until the issue is resolved.
• If “Note” appears followed by a statement, this is guidance that something doesn’t look quite right, but may be fine. You are not prevented from registering.
• After clicking on the “Edit”, clicking on the blue field name, provides a link to additional information or descriptions about the data required for the fields.
25
Complete registration (con’t.)
Pay attention to:• Spelling• When describing intervention, be sure to include
dose, frequency and route of administration (if applicable)
• Outcome Title: are they measurable?• Outcome Time Frame: give clear time points• Outcome Description: explain exactly how the
Outcome is being measured; add scoring scheme, if applicable
26
Questions that cause ‘?’s (con’t)
• Difference between Intervention and Arm– Intervention: describe each intervention one
time, providing sufficient details to explain dose, route, frequency
– Arm: An arm may include 1 or more combinations of interventions
27
Update registration
• Every 6 months: REVIEW– Change date defined as Record Verification
Date: (current month and year)– Review entire record, paying close attention
to Primary Completion Date and Study Completion Date
– If a new version of the protocol has been generated during the prior 6 months, be sure that the CT.gov record reflects the changes.
28
Update registration (Con’t)
• As required changes or at the 6 month update:– Update when enrollment met: Update under
Study Design Enrollment: ## – from Anticipated to Actual.
29
Results reporting
• Start early!!
• Expect requests for clarification from ClinicalTrials.gov after first attempt
• Report results for all applicable clinical trials
within 12 months after the last subject meets the study required primary outcome (s).
30
Critical to remember:
• These results are being posted for the public to view:– Keep the results reporting as simple as
possible: report in a way that they are clearly understood by the layman (when possible)
– Must match the truth: consistent with manuscript
– Only report the required analysis (matching the outcome of the study)
31
Results reporting: key problem areas
• Make sure numbers match!
• Use correct Units
• Describe measures clearly (do not include results in description)
• Complicated study analysis– Consult with statistician
32
Requesting an extension
• If reporting the primary outcome now compromises the secondary outcome
• If there are extenuating circumstances
• If there are unique issues related to the analysis of reporting an outcome
