The submission clock for the sponsor starts for expedited reporting of serious advents at this time. Answer Choices: Within 24 hours of knowledge; Within 7 days of knowledge; As soon as the sponsor becomes aware of the event; When the event occurs
What is "as soon as the sponsor becomes aware of the event"?
200
According to the principles of ICH GCP, this is the most important consideration when conducting a clinical trial. Answer choices: Protecting the rights, safety, and well-being of trial subjects; Following the proper regulations and guidelines; Having proper recruiting/retention practices
What is "protecting the rights, safety and well-being of trial subjects"?

This method to reduce bias produces treatment groups with similar prognostic factors and ensures there is an even distribution across study arms. Answer Choices: Blinding, Randomization, Compliance
What is Randomization.
300
Excluding subjects from the data analysis based on your knowledge of their study outcome is an example of this type of study bias. Answer Choices: Operational, Statistical, Design, Compliance
What is Statistical bias? (Note- Design and Compliance options are "distractors")

When a protocol deviation occurs, the FIRST priority is to:

Notify the IRB, Assess impact on participant safety and data integrity, Retrain site staff, Document in the TMF

What is assess impact on participant safety and data integrity?

300
These items regarding your subject population are important for both the trial planning and trial execution. Failure to meet expectations of these can affect the duration of the trial and have financial implications. Answer Choices (select all that apply): recruitment predictions, actual recruitment, subject retention
What are: (all of the above) recruitment predictions, actual recruitment, and subject retention.

Amendments involving changes to IRB approved protocols do NOT need prior IRB approval in this instance. Answer Choices: changes that impact the immediate health/well-being of the subject; changes involve the ICF only; the sponsor tells the investigator to implement the changes immediately
What is "when the changes impact the immediate health/well-being of the subject"?

The CRC knows he/she should take this action first in order to begin to resolve the issue. Answer choices: report the noncompliance to the sponsor; document the noncompliance in the CRF; chastise the subject for their noncompliance; have the subject re-enroll in the study and disregard all previous data for that subject
What is "document the available information regarding the noncompliance in the CRF".
