Regional imbalance of clinical trial data

Regional Imbalance of Clinical Trial Data and how NewgenONE can help

 

Introduction

 

The globalization and decentralization of clinical trials have introduced complexities in data collection, management, and regulatory compliance. Ensuring that data from diverse regions and decentralized setups meet FDA standards is crucial for the approval and success of new medical interventions.

Regional disparities in clinical trial data pose significant challenges to the generalizability of research findings and equitable healthcare delivery. Contract Research Organizations (CROs) play a pivotal role in managing decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), which have become increasingly prevalent. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided guidance to ensure that data collected from decentralized and international sources meet regulatory standards. NewgenONE's AI-first, low-code platform, integrating Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Business Process Management (BPM), and Customer Communication Management (CCM), can assist pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, particularly Phase 3 (P3) firms, and CROs in aligning with these regulatory requirements.

 

 

The Role of CROs in Decentralized Clinical Trials

CROs are instrumental in executing clinical trials, especially in decentralized models where trial activities occur outside traditional clinical sites. The FDA permits sponsors to delegate trial responsibilities to CROs, including the implementation, oversight, and monitoring of DCTs . This delegation allows for flexibility but also necessitates stringent oversight to maintain data integrity and compliance.

 

FDA Regulations on Decentralized and International Data

The FDA's guidance on conducting clinical trials with decentralized elements emphasizes that such trials are subject to the same regulatory requirements as traditional trials. Key points include but not limited to:

  • Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Compliance: Trials must adhere to GCP standards, ensuring the rights, safety, and well-being of participants.
  • Data Integrity: Sponsors and CROs must ensure that digital health technologies used are suitable for all participant populations and comply with relevant laws.
  • Monitoring: A risk-based monitoring plan should be implemented to assess protocol compliance and data quality.

For data collected outside the U.S., the FDA requires that foreign clinical studies be conducted in accordance with GCP and that the data be applicable to the U.S. population and medical practice.

 

Challenges of Decentralized Setups in Regulatory Approval

Decentralized trials, while offering increased accessibility and participant diversity, present challenges:

  • Data Variability: Differences in data collection methods across regions can affect data consistency.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that all decentralized sites adhere to FDA regulations require robust oversight mechanisms.
  • Technology Integration: The use of various digital tools necessitates seamless integration to maintain data integrity.

These challenges underscore the need for comprehensive platforms that can manage complex trial processes and data flows.

 

NewgenONE's Integrated Platform for Clinical Trials: Addressing the Challenges

 

For P3 – Pharma and Life Sciences companies and CROs, NewgenONE's platform streamlines trial processes, ensures regulatory compliance, and facilitates efficient data management across decentralized and international sites.

NewgenONE offers an AI-first, low-code platform that integrates ECM, BPM, and CCM, providing a unified solution for managing clinical trials:

  • Enterprise Content Management (ECM): Facilitates the capture, management, and storage of trial documents, ensuring compliance and easy retrieval
  • Business Process Management (BPM): Automates and optimizes trial workflows, enabling real-time monitoring and adherence to protocols.
  • Customer Communication Management (CCM): Enhances communication with stakeholders, ensuring transparency and timely information dissemination.

 

Conclusion

 

The evolving landscape of clinical trials, marked by decentralization and globalization, necessitates robust systems to manage complexities and ensure compliance. CROs play a critical role in this ecosystem, and adherence to FDA regulations is paramount. Platforms like NewgenONE provide the technological infrastructure to navigate these challenges, offering integrated solutions that enhance efficiency, compliance, and data integrity in clinical trials.
