The initial risk assessment and the subsequent re-assessments should be properly documented.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">All the decisions implemented by the sponsor to adapt the clinical trial conduct should be based on a risk assessment<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<h3>Changes to Informed Consent<\/h3>\r\n<p>Even re-consent of already included trial participants would be necessary, it should be avoided that subjects visit investigator sites for the sole purpose of obtaining re-consent.<\/p>\r\n<p>If re-consents are necessary, because urgent changes in trial conduct must be implemented (mainly expected for reasons related to COVID-19), alternative ways of obtaining re-consents should be taken during the pandemic. For example:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>Contact the trial participants via phone or video-calls and obtaining oral consents supplemented with email confirmation.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>Any consent obtained this way should be documented and confirmed by way of normal consent procedures at the earliest opportunity when the trial participants will be back at the regular sites.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Changes to Monitoring and Quality Assurance Activities<\/h3>\r\n<p>The majority of the sponsor oversight activities, such as on-site monitoring and audits, need to be adapted due to the current travel and site restrictions and \/or availability.<\/p>\r\n<p>Temporary alternative approaches considered are implementing phone or video visits. The EMA pointed the following considerations:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>The burden of the introduction of any alternative measures for the sites (in terms of time and staffing during the COVID-19 pandemic) should be considered in order to strike an acceptable balance between appropriate oversight and the capacity of and possibilities at the site.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>The alternative approaches should only be performed in agreement with the investigator sites.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>The limitations and risks of such methods and the requirements for data protection should be taken into account.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>The alternative arrangements need to be adequately documented.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p>Robust follow-up measures must be planned and be ready to be implemented when the situation is normalised.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Remote source data verification as part of remote monitoring or remote audits. For example, providing the sponsor with copies of subjects\u2019 medical records or remote access to electronic medical records) is currently not allowed in most of the EU member states as it might infringe subjects\u2019 rights.<\/p>\r\n<p>The provision of redacted\/de-identified pdf files will not be acceptable either, as it puts extra burden on the site staff.<\/p>\r\n<p>Some NCAs have started considering temporary solutions related to remote access providing that methods can be used restricting the access to the trial subjects\u2019 records. This option should however be clarified with other relevant authorities such as, for example, the Ethics Committees and the data protection agencies. This approach will not be allowed unless a member state has given specific guidance allowing it.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Protocol Deviations<\/h3>\r\n<p>Since the COVID-19 situation is expected to introduce more protocol deviations than normal, the EMA expects that the sponsor escalates and manages such protocol deviations in accordance with their standard procedures.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"lead\">A proportionate approach will be taken by the GCP inspectors when deviations are reviewed during inspections, in particular where the best interest of the participant is maintained, and the participant is not put at risk<\/p>\r\n<p>An increase in protocol deviations in relation to the COVID-19 situation will in itself not trigger the actions required by GCP [ICH GCP E6 (R2) 5.20 Noncompliance]. However, all these deviations need to be assessed and reported in the clinical study report (CSR), following ICH E3 Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\r\n<p>Even if the EMA has provided more clear guidance to handle clinical trials under the current situation, the main responsibilities on how to proceed and what mitigation actions to implement still sit with the sponsors.<\/p>\r\n<p>Talking about risks, I see quite a lot of risks here.<\/p>\r\n<p>Let\u2019s see if the inspectors take a proportionate approach when reviewing deviations or assessing the alternative plans implemented by the sponsors without close supervision and\/or approval by the regulators once we return to normality.<\/p>\r\n<p>I hope it is not too late.<\/p>\r\n<p>We cannot forget principle 2.3 of ICH GCP \u201cThe rights, safety, and well-being of the trial subjects are the most important considerations and should prevail over interests of science and society\u201d.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ich-gcp"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Updated Guidance on Clinical Trials Management &amp;
