Introduction to Clinical Trial Training

The field of clinical research has seen a significant rise in demand over recent years, with the evolving landscape of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries playing a significant role. A clinical research associate (CRA) is a crucial part of the clinical trial process, as they are responsible for overseeing the well-being of subjects and ensuring that the study complies with regulatory requirements. With the clinical research market set to experience growth, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of clinical research training, encompassing its components, course options, and benefits.

I. Clinical Research Training: Background and Importance

Before diving into the specifics of clinical research training, it's necessary to understand what clinical research is and its importance in the field of medicine. Clinical research refers to the systematic study of potential new drugs, medical devices, and techniques to establish their safety and efficacy before they can be approved for use by regulatory authorities. In simple terms, clinical research aims to ensure that new treatments and therapies are both safe and effective for human use, protecting the public from potentially harmful side effects or complications.

Clinical research, thus, plays a key role in the process of bringing novel medical treatments to market. It is a multifaceted process that requires a range of skill sets, from data analysis to ethics and compliance. Clinical research associates (CRAs) are responsible for managing clinical trials and ensuring that they adhere to relevant laws and ethical guidelines. As such, clinical research training equips potential CRAs with the necessary skills to excel in their roles and contribute to the safe development of new therapies and medical products.

II. Components of Clinical Research Training

Clinical research training typically comprises several essential components, each designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the clinical research process. Some of the critical elements of clinical research training include the following:

1. Basic Principles of Clinical Research: An overview of the fundamentals of clinical research, including the phases of clinical trials and the importance of randomization, blinding, and placebo controls.

2. Good Clinical Practice (GCP): A thorough understanding of GCP guidelines set by regulatory authorities like the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure the safety, integrity, and quality of clinical trials.

3. Protocol Development: Training in the design and development of clinical trial protocols, with an emphasis on creating study objectives, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and the types of assessments required.

4. Ethics in Clinical Research: In-depth exploration of ethical considerations in clinical research, including informed consent, institutional review board (IRB) approval, and data protection.

5. Regulatory Compliance: Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the role of various regulatory authorities in the clinical research process, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.

6. Data Management and Biostatistics: Knowledge of essential data management techniques, including data collection and validation, data quality control, and the application of biostatistics in clinical research.

7. Clinical Trial Management: Training on the roles and responsibilities of the clinical trial team and best practices in trial management, including site selection, patient recruitment, and study closeout.

8. Safety Reporting and Pharmacovigilance: An understanding of safety reporting requirements and the importance of pharmacovigilance in maintaining patient safety throughout the clinical trial.

III. Clinical Research Training: Course Options and Certifications

Numerous clinical research training programs are available for those wishing to enter or advance within the clinical research field. These programs typically cater to diverse educational backgrounds and levels of expertise, ensuring that all prospective CRAs have access to the necessary training. Courses generally range from short-duration workshops to comprehensive diploma or degree programs.

One popular and widely recognized accreditation is the Clinical Research Associate (CRA) Certification. Obtaining this certification demonstrates a commitment to excellence and professionalism in clinical research. Several organizations offer clinical research associate certification online, making it an easily accessible option for many individuals.

Monopolizing turds

Update 31 May 2023: an earlier edition of this article identified the price of Rebyota as $20,000; this was the rumored price prior to Rebyota’s release in December  2022, when Stephen Skolnick wrote the article I referenced. When Rebyota was actually released in 2023, the average wholesale price (AWP) was $10,800. Thanks to Benjamin Jolley for catching this error, and to Stephen Skolnick for getting to the bottom of it.

It’s been ten years — to the day! — since I first started writing about the bizarre, amazing world of turd transplants, in which a sick person receives a microbiotic infusion in the form of some processed poop from a healthy person:

https://web.archive.org/web/20130608030455/http://blogs.plos.org/publichealth/2013/05/29/why-diy-fecal-transplants-are-a-thing-and-the-fda-is-only-part-of-the-reason/

Gut biomes are one of those understudied, poorly understood medical areas that are both very promising and also full of sketchy medical claims from “supplement” companies, influencers, quacks and grifters. But in the decade since I first started tracking turd transplants (formally called “Fecal Microbiota Transplants” or FMTs), a growing body of sound science has emerged on the subject.

One thing that’s increasingly undeniable is that the composition of your microbial nation is related in significant ways to both your physical and mental health. What’s more, as antibiotic resistant “super bugs” proliferate, FMTs are becoming increasingly central to treating dangerous gut infections that otherwise stand a high chance of killing you.

“Eat Shit and Prosper” is Stephen Skolnick’s delightfully named newsletter about poop and health science. Skolnick is a physicist by training, but has a long history of collaboration with Openbiome, a nonprofit that coordinates between doctors, patients and donors to provide safe FMTs:

https://stephenskolnick.substack.com/

In an edition of Eat Shit from last December, Skolnick recounts the amazing history and dismaying future of FMTs. In 2013, the FDA announced it would regulate FMTs as “Investigational New Drugs,” which could only be administered as part of a registered clinical trial:

https://stephenskolnick.substack.com/p/a-monopoly-on-poop

At that point, FMTs were already in widespread use by docs to treat otherwise untreatable cases of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), an antibiotic resistant bacterial infection that literally makes you shit yourself to death. These doctors were in no position to run registered clinical trials, which meant that they would have to stop using the most effective therapy they had for a potentially lethal infection.

Doctors and patients kicked up a fuss, and the FDA walked back its guidance, announcing that it would exercise “discretion” in enforcing its Investigational New Drug rule, giving a pass to docs who were treating C. diff with FMTs:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/07/18/2013-17223/guidance-for-industry-enforcement-policy-regarding-investigational-new-drug-requirements-for-use-of

That’s where things have stood for the past decade or so. The “discretion” rule means that patients could still get FMTs, but their insurance wouldn’t cover it. But even if you had cash to pay for an FMT, your doc probably wouldn’t administer it for anything except a C. diff infection, despite the promising signs that FMT can help treat other conditions, and despite the generally safe nature of FMTs.

If your doc did give you an FMT, chances are good that they sourced their poop from Openbiome. Openbiome recruits very healthy people, gets them to poop in a bag, then processes the poop — removing nonbacterial solids, testing it for pathogens, freezing it, portioning it, and sending it to docs. All this is done at cost, and it’s not cheap: $1–2k/treatment, mostly due to cold-chain logistics (the poop is shipped at -80C).

Despite the cost, and despite the limitations on treatment, the Openbiome method has proved very reliable. Indeed, FMTs as a whole are pretty darned safe, with the most common side-effects being transient gas and bloating. In the past decade, there’ve been a total of six “adverse effects” associated with Openbiome’s 5,000+ procedures, all in severely immunocompromised people, and none conclusively linked to the treatment:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016508522003511/pdf

A decade into this system, the FDA has taken the next step forward — only it’s actually a step backwards.

During this intervening decade, a pharma company called Ferring has conducted clinical trials on FMTs and received approval for an FMT product called Rebyota. The process for making Rebyota is effectively identical to the process used by Openbiome: collect poop, remove solids, test for pathogens, add glycerol, freeze and ship.

The main difference between Rebyota and Openbiome’s poop is price. While Openbiome charges $1–2k per treatment, Rebyota charges $10,800

That’s some expensive shit!

Fine. Getting Rebyota through clinical trials means that insurers might start covering it, and perhaps some patients will prefer brand-name poop to open-source poop. But as part of the FDA’s approval of Rebyota, the agency also rescinded its “discretionary enforcement” guidance, making it illegal for docs to source their poop from Openbiome:

https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/enforcement-policy-regarding-investigational-new-drug-requirements-use-fecal-microbiota

For Ferring, this is a monopoly on shit, one that lets them charge patients $10.8k for poop that costs $1–2k to process. The FDA does not claim that this is being done in the name of safety. Instead, an FDA official told Skonick that the goal was to “incentivize innovation without creating an access crisis.”

That is, the FDA changed its guidance and put nonprofit stool banks out of business because it wants to incentivize pharma companies to perform expensive clinical trials, and it believes that these companies won’t pay for trials if they have to compete with the likes of Openbiome, which would make it impossible to charge 900% markups on poop.

Trials are important! Evidence-based medicine is important! But Ferring’s clinical trials didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. FMTs were already the best therapy we had for C. diff. Testing Rebyota against a placebo didn’t tell us anything new — unlike testing Rebyota against the existing therapies, e.g. product from open stool banks.

Such a trial might have given rise to a very different regulatory outcome, because the cure rate reported by Rebyota is much lower than the cure rate from Openbiome’s own interventions:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40265-022-01797-x

That is, using the $1k poop from Openbiome seems to be much more effective than using the $10.8k poop from Ferring. But Openbiome, a nonprofit, hasn’t been able to perform the kind of rigorous — and expensive — clinical trial that Ferring funded.

This points to a significant problem with the FDA’s model. The agency wants good clinical data for the medicines it regulates, as it should, It presumes that the only way to get that data is through granting commercial exclusivity to a for-profit, which ends up costing patients vast sums, and locking many patients out altogether.

This creates all kinds of new dangers. 150,000 people/year in the US contract Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection (RCdI). FMT increases the cure rate by 20% relative to antibiotics alone. That means that if everyone with RCdI gets a poop transplant, 30,000 extra people will get better. That’s a big number!

For well insured people, Rebyota probably represents a cash-savings — if your insurance covers the $10,800 procedure, you might pay $500 out of pocket, which is far less than the $1–2K you’d pay to get an Openbiome poop transplant. But if you’re uninsured or underinsured, the FDA’s new enforcement rules mean that you’re now on the hook for $10,800.

The FDA did carve out a loophole: if your doc or their hospital are willing to prepare the poop transplant themselves, they can administer that. On the one hand, preparing a poop transplant isn’t that hard — some people do them at home, on their own:

https://web.archive.org/web/20211015060558/https://thepowerofpoop.com/epatients/fecal-transplant-instructions/

But on the other hand, there’s been exactly one death conclusively linked to FMT, and it was from one of these hospital-prepared transplants (the patient had just had a marrow transplant for cancer that wiped out their immune system, and the donor had a novel pathogen that the hospital failed to test for).

So the FDA has created a situation where, if you can’t afford a $10,800 proprietary formulation, your only option is to convince your doc or hospital to prepare their own poop transplant, which will cost less than the $10.8k for Rebyota, but more than the $1–2k from Openbiome, which has all kinds of economies of scale. And if you do manage it, you’ll be getting a procedure that has a much worse safety track-record than the Openbiome process that the FDA just killed.

The FDA has an important role to play here, but as with so many policy questions, how the FDA plays that role depends on things that are far upstream from the agency and its decisions. The choice to fund medical trials through the promise of exclusivity — and with it, extremely high margins — puts the FDA in the position of choosing winners in the marketplace: Ferring wins, Openbiome loses.

Ironically, this is the thing that exclusivity is supposed to prevent. By using profit to incentivize medical research, the FDA is supposed to be recruiting the Invisible Hand as its partner in regulation. But exclusivity is incompatible with the idea of medicine as a public good. The tens (hundreds) of millions that Americans will pay for $10.8k poop transplants from Ferring will add up to far more than it would cost to underwrite clinical trials for an open process like Openbiome’s.

The result: both Americans’ wallets and Americans’ guts suffer.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mehmet Oz—aka Dr. Oz—repeatedly emailed top-level Trump administration officials, urging them to push the ineffective malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, to treat COVID-19 based on scant, sketchy data from a now-disgraced French researcher.

Emails from the notorious celebrity doctor were revealed for the first time Wednesday in a report from the House Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis. The report, titled "A 'Knife Fight' with the FDA," delved into how the Trump administration worked to undermine, pressure, and bully the Food and Drug Administration during the pandemic.

Specifically, it unearthed how the Trump White House pressured the FDA to bend safety standards so that COVID-19 vaccines could be released before election day. It also revealed the tenacious efforts and subterfuge by top Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro and adviser Steven Hatfill to pressure the FDA into supporting the use of the debunked malaria drug. The report's title stems from a direct quote from Hatfill that the White House had a "knife fight scheduled with the FDA" over hydroxychloroquine.

Both efforts were ultimately unsuccessful—the FDA did not authorize vaccines before the election, nor did it re-authorize hydroxychloroquine after it was clear it was not effective. But the administration's actions caused lasting damage to the FDA, the country's pandemic response, and public trust, the report concludes.

"As today's report makes clear, senior Trump Administration officials undermined public health experts because they believed doing so would benefit the former President politically—plotting covertly with known conspiracy theorists to dangerously push a disproven coronavirus treatment, bullying FDA to change its vaccine guidance, and advocating for federal investigations into those who stood in their way," Select Subcommittee chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said in a press statement. "These assaults on our nation's public health institutions undermined the nation's coronavirus response—and are precisely why we must never again settle for leaders who prioritize politics over keeping Americans safe."

OZ’S ROLE

But before Navarro and Hatfill spearheaded efforts and "work from the shadows" to champion a junk COVID-19 remedy, there was Dr. Oz, who was equally eager to promote the unproven treatment.

Oz, who has a long history of peddling unproven treatments and health scams, was quick to jump on the hydroxychloroquine train. Days after the small, dubious French study—led by a now-disgraced microbiologist—suggested that hydroxychloroquine was 100% effective at treating COVID-19, Oz sent emails to Trump White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Deborah Birx and Trump's son-in-law and White House senior adviser, Jared Kushner, pushing for hydroxychloroquine.

On March 22, Oz sent Birx a series of emails complaining about a "coronavirus drug shortage" and prodding her to help expand access to hydroxychloroquine. He also claimed that the drug had "confirmed clinical benefits." The next day, Oz emailed Kushner, saying that Trump should "push academic centers to move more expeditiously" on hydroxychloroquine trials. Kushner responded, "What do u[sic] recommend to speed it up?"

In those emails, Oz mentioned plans to run a clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine with his own money. Earlier this year, a representative for Oz confirmed to the New York Post that Oz spent nearly $9,000 of his money to buy more than 2,000 hydroxychloroquine tablets in 2020. And he was reportedly prepared to spend $250,000 to fund a clinical trial at Columbia University.

On March 28, Oz emailed Birx again about the French study. Birx forwarded his message to then-FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn with the note, "We should talk." That same day, the FDA granted a controversial emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, allowing use against COVID-19.

In June, the FDA reversed the decision, sending Navarro and Hatfill on an unsuccessful mission to get hydroxychloroquine reauthorized. And numerous studies have subsequently found the drug ineffective and potentially harmful for treating COVID-19 patients.

Oz, a crudité aficionado who is now running as a Republican Senate candidate for Pennsylvania, ultimately scrapped the hydroxychloroquine clinical trial idea and reportedly donated the pills to an unnamed hospital.

Does Your Electronic Data Capture (EDC) System Provide Enough Flexibility

According to the Tufts Centre for the Study of Drug Development (Tufts CSDD) study, at least one protocol change happens in more than half of all clinical trials. These changes have the potential to destabilize locations and research teams, causing inefficiencies. For example, if a change affects how therapy is administered or how and what data is collected, sites may need to re-consent with a patient. Changes in research procedures cause big logistical issues for everyone involved and waste a lot of time, especially when it comes to clinical trial data gathering.

Modern EDC Systems Must Accommodate Protocol Amendments

Data collection and patient visit schedules are disrupted if a protocol amendment necessitates. According to the Tufts CSDD research, clinical trials average 2.2 to 2.3 protocol revisions. This means that electronic data capture in clinical trials may have to be shut down several times, which is both disruptive and wasteful. Given the frequency with which changes occur, EDC systems should be built to sustain regular operations while adapting to changes.

Amendments that codify clinical trial data gathering, on the other hand, must be explicitly indicated for users to ensure that each modification is implemented throughout the study. If a new field is introduced to a form, the user interface should make it apparent that the new field must be filled out. Otherwise, clinical research coordinators may overlook the addition of a new item to their process. These sorts of notifications are straightforward but useful procedures that should be common in EDC systems. A clear approach for training or retraining users on any new feature should be included as part of that infrastructure.

Adaptable Designs, Adaptable EDC

Clinical trial design is becoming increasingly difficult. Adaptive trials, for example, evolve over time, which means that an EDC system must account for every conceivable path the trial may take. There are also several types of trials, such as basket, umbrella, and platform, each of which need a versatile electronic data capture software for clinical trials. As sponsors employ a broader range of complicated clinical trial designs, their EDC systems must be capable of implementing complex changes—often in the middle of a study.

Telehealth consultations quickly became a viable and essential alternative to in-person sessions during the COVID-19 epidemic. Remote visits in clinical trials increased in 2020 and 2021 as a result of site closures, travel limitations, and patients' reluctance to attend a medical center. Data from telemedicine platforms, wearables, sensors, and other sources must be integrated into EDC systems for this decentralized research. They also need the capability and flexibility to support numerous treatment arms as well as the mid-study adjustments that are inherent in adaptive trial designs.

Octalsoft EDC Supports the Next Era of Clinical Data Management

Octalsoft is constantly improving electronic data capture systems to match the flexibility demands of current clinical trials. EDC does not need any downtime for protocol changes. Following implementation, site users are automatically allocated the tasks necessary to accommodate the change, and revised eCRF completion criteria may be published and made instantly accessible, informing site users about the eCRF modifications and what new/changed data are required. Once a modification is made, it may be implemented without disrupting patient site appointments or bringing the entire system down. The ultimate goal: consistent, uninterrupted performance.

For reporting reasons, effective electronic data capture solutions log all modifications so users know when and how they were applied. modifies can also be reversed if, for example, a patient withdraws consent following a protocol modification that modifies what data they must supply. EDC saves users time by automating as many of these procedures as possible, allowing them to focus more on patients and the day-to-day operations of clinical trials.

Although all aspects of a clinical trial are rigorously monitored, studies are becoming increasingly complicated, protocol changes are regular, and recruitment is unpredictable. Furthermore, our environment is continually and rapidly changing, which has a direct influence on both trials and participants. 

There are three core reasons why Octalsoft EDC is a firm favorite for clinical data management, clinical operations, and clinical database programming teams:

1. High Configurability

The majority of EDC studies may be built without the use of special functions. A study's components may be customized in 95% of cases. Octalsoft and our clients both have libraries of reusable custom functions to help them construct new studies faster. Customers can employ EDC's Professional Services team or create their own sophisticated research. Other solutions may need the development of additional functionality by a vendor in order to support a certain protocol.  

2. Flexibility

EDC enables the ability to personalize the study construct and execute any protocol amendment or other mid-study design modification to provide support for any protocol, including complex adaptive designs and master protocols.

3. Transformational Study Build Processes

Octalsoft is dedicated to streamlining operations while maintaining quality and efficacy. By allowing greater study-build customization through the user interface, our next-generation study design technology changes the process. This novel method incorporates complicated casebook dynamic behavior. Because clinical data capture is no longer limited to EDC, we're centralizing the definition of a study across applications, including developing data source agnostic edit checks and data definitions (i.e., the same data definitions and edit checks would apply whether collected via EDC or eCOA).

Many of the edit checks we write now (to account for all eventualities) never run. A recent study at a big pharma customer revealed that anywhere from 45% to 75% of scheduled edit checks were never completed.

Octalsoft is enabling a more intelligent, risk-based approach to building research. As part of our next-generation data platform that supports the progression of clinical data management to clinical data science, we maintain data quality by concentrating edit check development on the most prevalent cases and employing AI/ML to detect data abnormalities. As a result, the amount of custom programming necessary to implement research will be reduced. 

These three fundamental elements result in simplified study builds, which speed up the study construction procedure for many clinical studies.

Conclusion

To meet the clinical trial landscape's complexity and unpredictability, the only logical technology solution is a system with the functionality, adaptability, and flexibility to properly fit with your research. This necessitates the use of a system that is adaptable, can use pre-existing custom functions, and can create new custom functions to meet specific needs. If your EDC lacks them, it will be unable to expand and accommodate the rising number of complex/innovative trials.

This adaptability is one of the primary reasons Octalsoft's EDC has been chosen by over 30,000 users.

Octalsoft's staff collaborates with you to understand your study objectives, study design, and any special requirements. Alternatively, our training experts will assist you in creating your own studies.
