FDA and CluePoints Sign New 3 Year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to Assess Data Quality using Statistical Modelling and Machine Learning
Thursday, June 13, 2024
FDA extends its use of CluePoints to include AI/ML within an automated system to assess data quality in multicenter clinical trials
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CluePoints, providers of leading statistical and AI-driven software solutions, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced an extension to their long-standing collaboration. FDA and its stakeholders have a vested interest in ensuring the integrity of clinical trial data and the safety of participants while clinical research is being conducted. Clinical research misconduct, such as fabrication or omission of data in reporting study results, puts all individuals in that trial at risk of harm. Fraud and other forms of misconduct impairs FDA's goal to safeguard and promote public health by jeopardizing the accuracy of data provided to the agency.
To discover signals of suspected misbehavior, the FDA and other authorities rely on site inspections and whistleblowers. Due to the large number of product filings, the FDA can only inspect a small percentage of clinical trial sites. The determination of which sites to inspect can involve FDA inspectors' judgement and experiences, suggestions by clinical and statistical reviewers, and CDER's risk-based site selection tool. Under the original CRADA between FDA and CluePoints, software was developed and CluePoints' existing software was enhanced to produce a ranked list of anomalous sites to help prioritize site inspection(s) for FDA inspectors.
As a result of the original CRADA, the CluePoints software was deployed in the FDA high performance computing environment, new statistical tests were developed to detect anomalous sites, the site ranking algorithm was improved, as well as the user interface for use by reviewers and others at FDA was also improved. Additionally, significant progress was made in the detection of modulators of treatment effect, i.e., factors such as center, region, or country that have a statistically significant impact on the magnitude of treatment effect.
Under this new proposed CRADA, FDA and CluePoints, Inc. will focus on two primary objectives:
-- The first objective is to develop and enhance CluePoints SMART(TM)
software to address a broader range of regulatory issues and concerns.
The CRADA will leverage date/time data which takes on greater
significance with decentralized trials (DCT) and the increasing use of
electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) and electronic patient
reported outcomes (ePRO) technologies. Further developments will be
added to improve the detection of duplicate patients. The proposed CRADA
will explore how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)
algorithms can further support anomaly detection. Finally, further
research will be carried out to explore the moderators of treatment
effect and develop a software solution that can be deployed within the
FDA environment.
-- The second objective is to improve and enhance how SMART(TM) software
and the CluePoints monitoring platform may be adapted to better support
FDA processes related to anomaly detection, review and follow-up, as
well as site selection for FDA inspections.
Anticipated benefits of the CRADA to the FDA include improved detection of anomalous sites, the ability to explore the interaction of various factors with data quality and their potential impact on treatment effect, and the ability to streamline the processes of data review and site selection for inspection at FDA.
