CONFERENCE PRESENTATION · SCDM 2024 EMEA Leadership Forum & Conference
From One-Size-Fits-All to Risk Proportionate Clinical Data Quality Approach - Shifting Gears with RBQM
  • Session Type: Storytelling
  • Topics: Risk-Based CDM, Soft Skills including Leadership & Executive Skills, Clinical Data Competencies & Cross-Functional Interactions
  • Session Level: Intermediate
Overview
For many years Regulators have been steering us to focus on activities essential to the study, and to eliminate non-essential activities. So far, a risk-based approach in clinical development predominantly focussed on risk-based monitoring, where the effort was aligned with the added value, and where a reduced source data verification (SDV) of the critical data became generally accepted.

Following pivotal changes in ICH GCP requirements, introducing specifically Data Governance to recognize the increasing role of data in clinical trials along with the use of technology to collect, maintain, and analyse data our Clinical Data Management efforts are going to focus on activities essential to the study, and to limit non-essential activities. Including the Clinical Data Management area in the risk-proportionate approach during execution and oversight of clinical trials will complement the diversification of monitoring methods and risk-based review of the data will be used the same way as the reduced source data management (SDV). Risk Based Data Management (RBDM) will be based on establishing an overarching comprehensive approach, which is leveraging cross-functional risk assessment, technology, adaptive monitoring and combining all data and data stakeholder performance in Centralised Monitoring activities to ensure data quality, integrity, and subject safety.

With the growing diversity of data sources in clinical trials and the growing amount of non-EDC data, we need to extend our focus on Critical to Quality (CtQ) and Critical Data and Processes from risk-based site monitoring to risk-based data monitoring, including the clinical vendors to complement the E2E risk proportionate data validation approach.
What You'll Learn
  • Share concepts & developments to illustrate the RBQM in CDM implementation by three concrete use cases coming from 3 sponsor companies
  • Show how we are approaching the paradigm shift in data cleaning of eCRF data, cleaning of external data, and the set-up of a Centralized Data Monitoring model in a hybrid operating model
  • Inspire some of our CDM colleagues in RBQM implementation and hear a some feedback

Last 10 years geared towards change management, particularly related to the development & implementation of risk-based approached & centralized monitoring in data quality management.
Christine Goffe
Team Lead Centralized Monitoring
UCB
Passionate about sciences and technologies, I studied Bio-Engineering at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) in Belgium. After several years in Clinical Data Management in an academic environment, I joined UCB in 2012 as a training manager for Global Quality Assurance and Patient Safety departments. I then joined the Risk Management and Data Quality team when the department was created in 2016. My first role in the team was Study Data Risk Manager (SDRM) and then I took the lead of the SDRM team at the end of 2020. Our team is responsible for Data Surveillance Oversight activities, using Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), Quality Tolerance Limits (QTLs) and data visualization tools to detect data anomalies and trends at study, site, study participant level in a timely manner. The output of Data Surveillance Oversight activities also influence third party vendor selection and operational oversight activities.
My areas of expertise are centralized monitoring strategy and data surveillance oversight.
