Risk-based monitoring should be described as a “best practice,” says ACRO, which recently released a survey that found the majority of new trial starts in 2018 employed some form of RBM.
Since finalizing its risk-based monitoring guidance in 2013, the FDA is providing additional information in a new Q&A that reinforces the importance of performing risk assessments for all studies.
Japan-based ONO Pharmaceutical will use CluePoints’ centralized statistical monitoring platform to lead its RBM strategy over the next four years following a successful pilot study in 2017.
