Assists in the development and writing of clinical research monitoring plans. 

Conducts the monitoring visits, writes the monitoring report in details by summing up the findings of the monitoring process and put the corrective/prevention action plan for these findings. The CRM then reports to the next in line authority for approval. Issues the letter to the principal investigator and follows up with the PI to close the findings.  

Verifies that the investigator has filed the current Investigator’s Brochure, all documents, and all study supplies needed to conduct the study properly in their study investigator sites files and comply with the applicable regulatory requirements.

Checks that data required by the protocol are reported accurately on the Case Report Forms (CRF)/study data collection sheets and are consistent with the source documents, verifies that study data entered on the CRFs is consistent with patient clinical notes and other source documentation (source data verification), and Informs the investigator of any CRF entry error, omission, or illegibility. Ensures as well that proper corrective plan is taken as per ICH-GCP standards.  

Verifies that all withdrawals and dropouts of enrolled subjects from the study are reported and explained on the CRFs. 

Checks whether all adverse events (AEs) and unanticipated problems (UP) are appropriately reported within the time periods required by GCP, the protocol, the IRB/IEC, the sponsor, and the applicable regulatory requirement(s). In case of any unreported AEs / Ups, the CRM has to report this on the monitoring report and ask the PI to report it to the IRB

Determines whether the investigator is maintaining the essential documents in their regulatory study binders.  

Meets expected timelines for completion of monitoring activities and submission of written monitoring reports.  

Track and report all issues identified through the monitoring visits on the monitoring tracking tools 

Communicates deviations from the protocol, SOPs, GCP, and the applicable regulatory requirements to the investigator and ensures appropriate action is designed to prevent recurrence of the detected deviations.
