Description
During an onsite monitoring visit, the CRA identified 3 separate incidents of misconduct events involving the site’s study coordinator. All instances below are in relation to the one and only patient enrolled at the site for this trial: ID# 10070.

1. 29-30 Oct 2024: this visit was performed to review the site’s progress with the CAPAs and updates to the source documentation. During this visit, the CRA discovered the use of ‘white out’ at the site by a study coordinator*.

a. In the reports it was ‘whited out’ that patient 10070 had prior strabismus surgery at age 9 in 3 different places in the EMR and not whited out in 1 place.

2. 14 Nov 2024 (call between CRA and the site): the site reported an issue regarding forgery for week 4 visit relating to the VA worksheets. The VA examiner stated that they did not complete the VA assessment that day and the worksheet was not their handwriting. The site confirmed that the previous coordinator*, who was not VA certified, had completed the assessment and forged the VA examiner’s name (no signature was forged).

3. 22 Nov 2024 (call between CRA and Clinical Operations Representative): another forgery was discovered that was allegedly committed by the same site’s study coordinator* relating to week 4 color vision worksheets.

*The study coordinator (SC) who was involved in all three cases above has since been terminated from the site.
Sponsor actions
The main SC responsible for these issues no longer works at the site. The Site Manager has been working closely with the CRA on site issues, documentation, and CAPAs.

A new SC has been onboarded and is working closely with both the Site Manager and the CRA.

The site was put on a screening hold for the trial, until all concerns for the misconduct was resolved

Study Lead and COR had a virtual discussion with the PI regarding study issues before placing the site on a screening hold effective 30 September 2024.

The site was requested to create four CAPAs covering Root Cause Analysis, Corrective Actions, Preventative Actions related to PI Oversight, Source Documentation, Study Assessment Administration (OSDI and Color Vision), and Consenting (currently in progress).

The site staff received retraining on Inclusion/Exclusion criteria, randomization, source documentation, study assessments, and ALCOA principles by the CRA.

Monthly onsite visits by the CRA have been completed since August 2024.

The IQVIA PTL has been involved to support the CRA.
