Topics Covered

  • FDA guidance on COVID clinical trials and the implications of cardiovascular issues.
  • The strengths and weakness of recently reviewed COVID protocols and decipher what the FDA might expect regarding COVID status in study subjects, potential cardiac involvement as well as data analysis plan modifications.
  • Cardiovascular biomarkers required for collection in the evaluation of cardiovascular adverse events.
  • Cardiovascular biomarker profiles which should be collected upon entry in clinical trials for the evaluation of cardiovascular risk.

Ongoing

Watch Webinar: Technical Specifications for Submitting Data for QT Studies 

Topics Covered

  • Assessment of the drug effect in QT interval (and other ECG intervals) in dedicated thorough QT and early phase clinical studies and challenges with how data are currently submitted
  • Overview of the QT Studies Technical Specifications Document
  • Formatting study data for crossover, parallel and other study designs common in QT assessment using the QT Studies Technical Specifications Document
  • Standardized analysis using datasets formatted following the QT Studies Technical Specifications Document

Learning Objectives

  • Distinguish the main components of the QT Studies Technical Specifications Document (TSD) for datasets from QT/ECG studies and their relationship with how data are currently submitted
  • Create QT Studies TSD compliant datasets from the study raw data sources (e.g., from SDTM to ADSL, ADPC, and ADEG)
  • Demonstrate how to use datasets following the QT Studies TSD to perform by-time, concentration-QT and categorical outlier analyses in accordance with the ICH E14 guideline
