Monitoring Clinical Studies

Course Overview

The purpose of this course and workshop is to update and provide expertise to the process of monitoring clinical trials from phases I to III. Updates on regulatory requirements for monitoring clinical trials will be studied in detail as per Good Clinical Practices. New monitoring strategies will be discussed (e-monitoring or internet real time monitoring). Monitoring management procedures and project management will be discussed to help streamline the process of reducing errors and omissions. New and challenging case studies will be performed to practice monitoring procedures on site. Safety monitoring and monitoring adverse experiences and reporting will be studied in detail to make it a focal point of the monitoring activity. This program also includes a review of the newest technologies of EDC (Electronic Data Capture), transfer and electronic systems in clinical research. This is a fully interactive course where the participants will share different experiences and analyze them together with the instructor to encourage resolution of issues that may hinder monitoring activities at different sites.
