In our pursuit to enhance the implementation of CTTI’s recommendations, we’ve created a new webpage on our site that we’d like to share with you. This page features CTTI’s three most commonly used tools:
- The Considerations Document for a Single IRB of Record: Developed by CTTI’s Central IRB Project, this tool supports communication and contractual relationships between institutions and a central IRB to address blurred distinctions between responsibilities for ethics review and other institutional obligations. Primary users for this tool include sponsors, academic institutions, investigators, IRBs that act as a single IRB of record.
- The Quality by Design Principles Document: Developed by CTTI’s QbD Project, this tool helps those working in trials to promote proactive, cross-functional discussions and critical thinking at the time of trial development about what is critical to quality for a specific trial, and about the events that might impede or facilitate achieving quality. Primary users for this tool include anyone interested in designing and conducting clinical trials.
- The AACT Database: Developed by CTTI’s State of Clinical Trials Project, this tool makes the acquisition and analysis of the aggregate data from ClinicalTrials.gov more user-friendly. Primary users for this tool include researchers interested in analyzing data from clinical trials.
The Tools Page can be accessed on the CTTI site under Briefing Room > Tools. We hope that you find this resource valuable and share with your colleagues in the clinical trials enterprise.
