Completing clinical and site visit trip reports electronically through a clinical trial management system (CTMS) saves sponsors and research organizations time and money. However, due to their unfamiliarity with how they work and how 21 CFR Part 11 pertains to electronic signatures, companies shy away from utilizing electronic trip report solutions to their full capacity.

• Additionally, for monitoring visits:
o Enrollment statistics
o Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
o Protocol Deviations (PDs)

10. Trip Report Components
• Site visit information
o Protocol
o Site #
o PI Name
o Location/Site Name
o Visit Type
o Visit Start Date
o Visit End Date
o Visit Status
o Attendees
11. Trip Report Components
• Checklist items (yes/no)
o Site staff training records are current.
o Site regulatory binder is complete.
o Each informed consent form is countersigned
and dated.
o Investigational product is being stored
appropriately.
o Investigational product supply is adequate for
anticipated enrollment.
12. Trip Report Components
• Narrative questions (open-ended)
o How would you describe the site's compliance
with the informed consent policy?
o How would you describe the site's compliance
with the drug accountability procedure?
o How would you describe the site’s overall
management of study-related documentation?
13. Trip Report Components
• Follow-up items
o Sub-I requires training in product handling
o New microscope needs to be set up
o Need to obtain CDA from new staff nurse
o No Internet access available
o Investigational product is not being stored in

14. Trip Report Components
• Additionally, for monitoring visits:
o Enrollment statistics
o Current at time of visit
o Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
o Monitored during visit
o Protocol Deviations (PDs)
o Monitored during visit
o Monitored Case Report Forms (CRFs)
o Monitored during visit
15. Trip Report Challenges
• Adhere to site visit SOPs
• Capture a snapshot in time for when the
site visit occurred
• Track the report throughout the review
process
• Record compliant approvals
16. Adhere to SOPs
Siebel Clinical template functionality
o Allows an administrator to create an outline, or
template, of each type of site visit - usually
qualification, initiation, monitoring and close-
out
o Templates can be set up to mirror SOPs
o Templates can be applied over and over for
each site visit to ensure consistency and
streamline the completion process
19. Capture a Snapshot in Time
• In ASCEND, Siebel CTMS is configured so that
follow-up items, PDs, SAEs and CRF
monitoring activities are tracked outside of the
trip report
• When a trip report is ready to be completed,
the relevant records can be “imported”
o Creates a read-only copy that cannot be
modified within the trip report
20. Track Review Process
• In Siebel CTMS, trip report “Status” field is
governed by a state model
o Controls order of status changes and which users can make
which changes
• In ASCEND, trip report includes electronic
signature capability with re-authentication and a
visible audit trail
o Displays complete history of status changes
• In both, the printable trip report does not display
reviewer comments, but electronic version does store
them, unless deleted
21. Record Compliant Approvals
• Ink signatures
• Re-authentication for status changes
• Visible audit trail of status changes
