Risk-Based Data Monitoring: Quality Control in Central Nervous System (CNS) Clinical Trials

Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science
Cynthia McNamaraGuillermo Di Clemente

Abstract

Monitoring the quality of clinical trial efficacy outcome data has received increased attention in the past decade, with regulatory guidance encouraging it to be conducted proactively, and remotely. However, the methods utilized to develop and implement risk-based data monitoring (RBDM) programs vary, and there is a dearth of published material to guide these processes in the context of central nervous system (CNS) trials. We reviewed regulatory guidance published within the past 6 years, generic white papers, and studies applying RBDM to data from CNS clinical trials. Methodologic considerations and system requirements necessary to establish an effective, real-time risk-based monitoring platform in CNS trials are presented. Key RBDM terms are defined in the context of CNS trial data, such as "critical data," "risk indicators," "noninformative data," and "mitigation of risk." Additionally, potential benefits of, and challenges associated with implementation of data quality monitoring are highlighted. Application of methodological and system requirement considerations to real-time monitoring of clinical ratings in CNS trials has the potential to minimize risk and enhance the quality of clinical trial data.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction

Cardiovascular risk prediction models based on classical risk factors identified in epidemiological studies are useful in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals. Here is the latest research.
