Verifying Source Documents
2
Source Documentation
First place the data are capturedOriginal documents, data, and recordsCertified CopiesShould contain certain specific information about the participant and trial
3
Working Definition of Source Documents
This information consists of all written and printed documents that are pertinent to a research participant’s:
exposure to the investigational agent(s)
exposure to other treatments progress of the disease course response to therapy
4
Source Document Examples
Physician Progress NotesNurse’s NotesDiagnostic Test ReportsMedication RecordsLaboratory ResultsParticipant Diaries
5
CORRECTIONS
Four items must be visible each time a raw data value is changed:
(1) The old value
(2) The new value (3) The date of the change (4) By whom the change was made. [ the reason for the change must either be apparent or an explanation provided]
6
Addenda/Insertions
When text needs to be inserted, it cannot be squeezed between
lines or in margins.
Insertions should be documented as a signed addendum and placed after the last entry.

Verifying Source Documents
Ensure that source data is complete, accounted for, follows a logical sequence of events, and that source data supports entries in CRF
12
Performing Logic Checks
Recreate the scenario: who did what, when, where, how, and whyDetermine the impact an event has elsewhere (med. hx., con. meds., AEs)Note inconsistencies
Dr. notes no complaintsNurse documents multiple complaints from same subject on same day
13
Protocol Required Documentation
All inclusion/exclusion criteria addressed
Study required tests and procedures done on time or if not, why not
Withdrawals, dropouts, lost to follow up
AEs/SAEs properly documented/reported
Endpoints of the study

Site Training Questions
26
Computer/Electronic Records
Is the site required to have hard copies of all patient related data in order to ensure proper monitoring? What questions will the monitor ask if they are observing subject data via a computer?
27
CRFs as SD
A CRF that is being used as the SD has multiple data entries and one signature at the end of the form. Would this ever be acceptable and if so, provide specifics.
28
CRFs as SD
Is it acceptable for the site to use the SAE report form as their SD of a serious adverse event? Explain the specifics.
29
Certified Copies
The site has received a discharge summary via fax from a health care facility where a study subject was treated over the weekend for angina. The fax is difficult to read and looks as if some information has been covered with correction fluid (white-out).Should the coordinator certify this copy? What does the certification mean?
30
Error Corrections
When would it be necessary to explain why data were changed or corrected? Provide an example.
31
Informed Consent
A new version of the consent form for your study was available but enrollment at your site was completed and participants were in the follow up phase.
Should you obtain the new consent form, obtain IRB/IEC approval and ask participants to sign it?
32
Informed Consent
Subject who is illiterate makes his mark on the consent form in the space for subject signature. List at least three things that need to be verified with regard to this special situation.
33
Informed Consent
Who is required to sign the consent form? Provide a variety of possible answers to this question based on multiple scenarios.
34
INFORMED CONSENT
The subject refuses to take a copy of the consent form and says that she does not want her husband to know that she is participating in this trial.What should be documented about this?

35
Medical Records
List the reasons why a monitor would ask the site to attempt to obtain subject medical records if they were not present in the research record.
36
Reportable Events
The monitor discovered that a grade 4 event has not been reported. The coordinator stated that this event was not related to drug (though no documentation exists re: R/T drug). The investigator suggested that perhaps this event was “misgraded”.
How should the monitor and site personnel resolve this?
37
Toxicities
What possible actions should site personnel take upon the discovery of laboratory toxicity? Provide multiple scenarios.
38
Inconsistent SD
The study nurse writes something in the SD that conflicts with what an investigator has written. What should be the response of the site personnel who discovers this discrepancy?
39
Who needs to be included?
Investigator of Record AgreementCVs

IRB/IEC ISSUES
The DAIT/DAIDS 000 protocol approval is from 02 Oct02 - 01 Oct03. The study coordinator received a notice from the IRB that an extension has been granted due to a delay in the meeting date. What should the coordinator do?
41
IRB ISSUES
What documentation should be on file if the PI is a current, voting member of the IRB?
42
ERROR CORRECTIONS
An informed consent was signed 07 Jun 03 after which all relevant study investigations were carried out. The research record indicated that the consent was signed on 08 Jun 03.How will you rectify this?
