How can the success of clinical partnerships be measured?

Measuring the performance of a particular partnership is not always easy. Which metrics and KPIs should be tracked to judge not just the performance of the CRO, but the performance of the combined effort?

One of the most critical pieces of the combined effort is agreeing upfront on a realistic (and not too ambitious) plan regarding milestones and timelines (and cost). The performance of the partnership can then be assessed by measuring whether the actual figures meet the plan with regards to Time, Budget and Quality. But this makes sense only if the plan was realistic in the first place.
Relationship KPIs include data such as data currency, completeness and quality, protocol deviation/violation but also costs difference between initial agreed budget and final one.
There are a number of approaches that could be used. This can be used to provide a measure of the opinion across the partnership of how well it is working and could be monitored over time to establish any trends.

In part 2, we focused on the following protocol sections that require us to stop and think about research ethics.
1. Inclusion/ Exclusion Criteria
2. Safety and Efficacy Endpoints
3. Staff credentials and training
4. Schedule of Events
5. Medication Compliance
6. Lost to Follow-up
7. Patient Discontinuation
8. Early Trial Termination
9. Medical Emergency
10. Amount and Type of Data Collection
11. Operational Instructions
12. Continuation Protocol
13. Committees in Multicenter Trials
14. Data Confidentiality
15. Publications
As a general rule of thumb, always remember what matters most to regulatory authorities and ethics committees are patient safety, patient privacy and whether benefits to patients outweigh the risks. When dealing with ethical considerations, your goal should be to keep the regulatory perspective in mind at all times.

Here’s What’ve Covered on Clinical Research Ethics
In part 1, we covered the following ethical questions you need to ask when developing a clinical trial strategy.
1. Is there a need for a clinical trial?
2. Is it ethical to include a placebo treatment group?
3. Is your choice of an active control acceptable?
4. Has the clinical trial eliminated obvious bias and deception?
5. Has sufficient attention been given to sample size?
6. Is the statistical power of a trial adequate to demonstrate efficacy i.e. medical treatment effective?
7. What is the safety of the patients enrolled in the clinical trial?
8. What is the safety of the patients enrolled in the clinical trial?
9. What types of patients are to be entered into a clinical trial?
10. What should patients be paid for their participation?

13. Committees in Multicenter Trials
For multi-center studies, centralized committees are generally ongoing clinical data monitoring.
For example, certain medical device clinical studies may be required to appoint a Data Safety and Monitoring Board for patient safety.
During the course of the trial, if this committee is concerned about the data being collected, it has the authority to ask the Sponsor to stop or pause the trial due to ethical and patient safety concerns.

12. Continuation Protocol
There may be a lag between trial completion and regulatory review of the clinical data. During this period, the Sponsor may decide to implement a continuation protocol. One objective of a continuation protocol is to ensure that the patients have access to the trial drug after trial completion. For device trials, the Sponsor may want to collect additional safety and efficacy data while the trial data is under regulatory review.For control patients, the question arises whether they should be receiving the trial drug or device, while the regulatory review is underway. This sought of ethical concern needs to be clearly thought through when designing a continuation protocol.

10. Amount and Type of Data Collection
Once enrollment commences, clinical data needs to be collected and entered in the case report forms.If the amount of clinical data being collected is vast, researchers may end up with a partially complete dataset at the time of analysis.
Missing or incomplete can pose a serious issue to provide the scientific value of the trial. Conversely, if the trial fails to collect the required critical fields, the scientific community will find it difficult to accept or interpret the trial results.

11. Operational Instructions
Operational instructions to patients such as consent form and procedure brochures must be reviewed and approved by the ethics committee. Patients must also be provided clear instructions on whom to contact in case of an emergency or follow-up questions after their visit. Aside from patient instructions, sites must have access to Sponsor name and contact information when dealing with a medical emergency.

We are deeply worried about the current situation in . We are adapting our plans in line with constantly changing circumstances.
We want nothing more than everybody to live in peace and safety, and hope for this war to end as soon as possible.
