CCDM Data Collection Methods 3

Question 1

Which principle of Good Clinical Data Management Practice (GCDMP) requires that all collected data be traceable to the original source?

Accepted Answer

Source data verification (SDV)

Answer

SDV ensures that data recorded in the CRF or EDC can be verified against the original source documents at the investigative site.

Question 2

In a multicenter trial, what is the MAIN challenge of using multiple paper CRF versions across sites?

Accepted Answer

Inconsistent data collection leading to comparability issues

Answer

Different CRF versions across sites can produce inconsistent data fields, making cross-site data comparisons unreliable.

Question 3

What does 'targeted SDV' mean in the context of risk-based monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Focusing verification on critical data fields and high-risk sites

Answer

Targeted SDV concentrates verification resources on the most critical data points and sites identified as higher risk.

Question 4

Which method is used to collect pharmacokinetic (PK) data in clinical trials?

Accepted Answer

Blood and urine sample collection with laboratory analysis

Answer

PK data is derived from biological samples such as blood or urine that are analyzed to measure drug concentrations over time.

Question 5

A sponsor decides to implement central monitoring in addition to on-site monitoring. What type of data collection insight does central monitoring primarily provide?

Accepted Answer

Statistical signals and outliers identified from aggregated site data

Answer

Central monitoring analyzes aggregated data across sites to detect statistical anomalies, trends, and potential data integrity issues.
