Clinical Study Strategy

At DeSia, we recognize that a well-defined clinical strategy is crucial for the successful execution and budgeting of a clinical trial. Our approach focuses on ensuring that your medical device's safety and performance are thoroughly and efficiently validated. The right strategy is not just pivotal for meeting the trial's objectives; it also significantly influences the budget and overall feasibility of the study.

Our Tailored Services Include:

  • Clinical Research Strategy and Outline: We develop a detailed strategy and research outline, customizing it to align with your specific requirements and goals.
  • Clinical Research Protocol Preparation: Our experts craft a comprehensive 'Research Protocol' – essentially the blueprint of your clinical studies, encompassing all legal requirements and operational details. This protocol is developed in close collaboration with the medical professionals conducting the study and you, the sponsor, to ensure all perspectives are integrated and objectives are clearly defined.

DeSia specializes in fostering these vital connections, making sure that everyone involved is in agreement from the start and during the entire duration of the investigation.

Key Areas of Management Expertise
Agreement Preparation and Management: We precisely prepare and manage agreements between our business partners, hospitals, and investigators. This includes:
Hospital Agreements: Drafting comprehensive contracts with clinical trial centers, detailing the roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
Investigators Agreements: Creating clear and concise agreements with investigators, outlining the scope of work, timelines, and deliverables.
Signature Process Oversight: Managing the signature process of all agreements to guarantee formal acknowledgment and understanding from all involved parties.
Financial and Operational Follow-up: Keeping a close eye on the practical aspects of the trial, we monitor and manage expenses incurred at the hospitals. Our team stays in constant communication with investigators and hospital administrators to ensure that all operations are running steadily and within budget.

Preparation of the Investigator Brochure
DeSia specializes in creating comprehensive Investigator Brochures, a critical document compiling all essential clinical and pre-clinical data about the investigational product. This brochure serves as a key informational resource for investigators, detailing the product's history and relevant data, and is crucial for both study execution and regulatory approval processes.

Designing the Case Report Form (CRF)
A well-structured Case Report Form (CRF) is vital for the accurate evaluation of data collected during clinical studies. At DeSia, we design CRFs tailored to your specific research design, protocol, and study endpoints. Our process involves close collaboration with you to ensure the CRF is validated and ready for application, facilitating precise data collection and analysis.

Creating Informed Consent Forms (ICF)
The Informed Consent Form (ICF) is an indispensable component of clinical research, particularly under the EU MDR 2017/745 and IVDR 2017/746 regulations. It is a crucial document that participants sign to acknowledge their voluntary participation in the study, fully informed of the treatment, device, and associated risks and benefits. DeSia verifies the ICF is comprehensively detailed and translated into the participant's native language, adhering to all legal requirements of the country where the research is conducted.

Partner with DeSia to be sure your clinical research documents are prepared with precision, meeting all regulatory standards and facilitating a smooth, compliant research process.

Comprehensive Documentation Services for Clinical Study by DeSia

Preparation of the Research Master File (Trial Master File - TMF)

In clinical research, the integrity and organization of documentation are paramount. DeSia specializes in preparing the Trial Master File (TMF), a crucial collection of all essential documents related to the study. This file serves as concrete proof that your study adheres to all regulatory requirements. The TMF we prepare is not only vital for regulatory compliance but also serves as a valuable resource for your internal evaluations.

Ongoing Updates to the Trial Master File
Understanding that clinical research is a dynamic process, we ensure the TMF is regularly updated. Throughout the study, DeSia diligently adds new documents and information, maintaining the TMF's relevance and accuracy. This continuous updating process supports that the TMF accurately reflects the study's progress and compliance at every stage, from inception to conclusion.

Partner with DeSia to guarantee your clinical research documentation is meticulously prepared and accurately updatedmeeting the highest standards of global clinical research compliance.

At DeSia, we recognize the intricate dynamics of clinical research strategy, especially under the stringent requirements of the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746. The IVDR introduces a paradigm shift in the validation of safety and performance for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, emphasizing the necessity of a robust clinical evidence base. Our strategic planning and documentation processes are meticulously designed to align with these IVDR stipulations, ensuring not only regulatory compliance but also the market success of your IVD product.

Crafting a Comprehensive Clinical Strategy for IVDs
Our clinical strategy development is a holistic process, incorporating IVDR-specific requirements into every stage:

Clinical Research Strategy and Outline: We initiate our process by crafting a bespoke clinical research strategy, incorporating the unique IVDR requirements for IVDs. This strategy outlines the path to demonstrating safety, performance, and clinical utility of the IVD device, considering the risk class and intended use.
Clinical Research Protocol Preparation: Our expert team then moves to prepare a detailed Research Protocol, tailored to meet the IVDR's demands for clinical evidence. The protocol not only serves as a roadmap for the study execution but also as a critical document for regulatory scrutiny and approval.

Ensuring IVDR Compliance Through Rigorous Documentation

The documentation phase under IVDR demands meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive evidence collection:

Investigator Brochure Preparation: Tailored specifically for IVD clinical research, our Investigator Brochures compile essential clinical and pre-clinical data, now with added focus on the analytical performance and clinical utility as required by the IVDR. This document is instrumental in ensuring investigators are fully informed about the IVD's specifications, performance characteristics, and the scientific rationale behind the study.
Designing the Case Report Form (CRF): The CRF design for IVD studies under the IVDR is a critical step. It ensures that all data pertinent to the device's performance and safety is accurately captured. Our CRFs are developed with an IVDR lens, ensuring every data point collected aligns with the regulation's evidence requirements.
Creating Informed Consent Forms (ICF): With the IVDR's enhanced focus on patient safety and data reliability, the ICF becomes even more crucial. Our ICFs are designed to ensure that all participants are thoroughly informed about the specific nature of IVD studies, the intended use of the device, and any potential risks or benefits, in compliance with the IVDR.

Comprehensive TMF Management Aligned with IVDR
Preparation of the Research Master File (Trial Master File - TMF): Under the IVDR, the TMF's importance is elevated, serving as the cornerstone of regulatory compliance and audit readiness. Our TMF preparation service ensures that every document, from the protocol to the final report, is IVDR-compliant, meticulously organized, and easily accessible.
Ongoing Updates to the Trial Master File: Recognizing the dynamic nature of IVD clinical research, especially with the evolving landscape of IVDR, we ensure the TMF is regularly updated. This includes the incorporation of new data, changes in study parameters, or updates in regulatory guidance, maintaining the document's integrity and compliance throughout the study lifecycle.
