Session Overview: In this educational webinar we will move beyond the theory and purpose of QTLs and examine commonly applied QTL approaches in clinical trials. We will highlight the pros and cons of different approaches and outline key considerations to support your organization and project teams efficiently implement meaningful QTLs on their trials.
Overview
Applying QTLs on a trial can be difficult and applying them in a meaningful and efficient way even more so. ICH-E6 R2 Guidelines recommend QTLs be established as a risk control to identify systemic issues that can impact subject safety or reliability of trial results. To set them up effectively requires careful thought on what parameters to monitor as well as how to set appropriate QTL thresholds. With competing study start-up activities and limited QTL expertise in many organizations, it is no wonder why QTLs are often implemented that do not meet the intended objective.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of common QTL approaches, key considerations for implementing meaningful QTLs on their study, as well as things to consider if they are looking to build a library of re-usable QTLs within their organization.
What You'll Learn
- Understand the pros and cons of commonly applied QTL approaches in clinical trials.
- Key considerations to build a small library of re-usable QTLs within an organization.
- Key Questions to ask when determining & developing QTLs for a study.
- How to lead Data Quality Meetings.
Who Should Attend
The audience would be intermediate (CCDM) and advanced (CCDS).
