PPD's centralized monitoring group delivers a new approach to risk surveillance and centralized statistical monitoring, combining the power of statistical and analytical tools with expertise from operationally experienced staff to monitor and manage clinical study data.
Centralized monitoring staff explores study data holistically to pinpoint meaningful signals, resulting in more efficient and effective issue resolution and a proactive approach to risk detection.
Using this data-driven approach, PPD can address study problems or site performance quickly, directing remediation activities where needed and positioning on-site monitoring activity in a targeted approach.
Centralized monitoring is an integral part of PPD’s risk-based monitoring (RBM) strategy and supports centralized monitoring efforts.
Ongoing data assessments from our centralized monitoring group allows to adapt monitoring plans dynamically so that CRAs can focus on the factors that have the greatest impact on data integrity and subject safety.
Regardless of the percentage of source data verification (SDV), the centralized monitoring group's centralized statistical monitoring approach identifies risk signals that may be difficult to detect through traditional review methods, such as on-site monitoring.
Centralized monitoring evaluates data within and across studies, sites, countries and regions. Our analytic approach provides insight into :
- Data errors, deviations
- Trends, outliers
- Unusual variation (or lack of variation)
- Potential data manipulation, fraud
- Other systematic errors or data integrity issues.
