A large scale
prospective,
observational,
open-label,
multi-country,
multi-center group of
individually running
phase-IV post marketing
pharmacosurveillance
clinical trials’
project.
This high-end FDA
compliant medical I.T.
system was developed
using the latest
technologies that were
incorporated and
integrated to produce an
extremely secured
multiple engines of
remotely controlled
medical data capture
systems, follow-up, and
real-time online
reporting and analysis
of quality e-medical
applications and
databases designed
according to the
strictest guidelines,
rules and standards of
ICH, GCP, FDA 21 CFR
Part-11, and ISO27799.
TPMC e-clinical trials
project is an
unsurpassed medical I.T.
project in terms of
technology and security
for both input and
output modules. The
system can be accessed
on real-time basis for
the whole authenticated
active accounts in
certain authorized
participated clinics,
polyclinics, hospitals,
in both institution and
private medical sectors
in one city, group of
cities, one region,
group of regions,
country, and all
countries after it was
started in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia.
At investigators’ sites,
TPMC e-clinical trials
system will provide
flexibility and rapid
well-controlled data
entry even when
connectivity options are
less than ideal. Fully
automated edit checks,
including sophisticated
cross-form edits, help
to clean all the data
right at the point of
entry.
As guidance to all
investigators and
improvement of their
efficiency, the system
was designed to be
tutorial & presented in
a way to provide easy
and “simple to
understand” interfaces.
Conforming to all 21 CFR
11 guidelines, a
complete audit trail is
kept of every form,
including version
changes, the time and
date when users log in
and log out, electronic
signatures, and tracking
records of all study
related events starting
from user logging &
ending by data locking.
TPMC electronic clinical
trials’ project is set
to last 3 years for each
and every studied
pharmaceutical drug of
multiple phases’ trials
and different launch
dates depending on
participated countries /
medical centers and
their principal
coordinating centers’
priorities and time
frames.
These multicenter,
prospective,
observational, open
label, cohort studies
are conducted on both
male and female subjects
who are entitled to
receive their disease
related prescriptions
from their accountable
medical doctors
according to each
medicine original
pamphlet guidelines with
reference to their age
groups, medical history
and all other
pre-prescription
check-ups and well
studied factors, taking
into consideration other
medicines / D-D
interactions,
precautions, pregnancy,
allergies, and risk
factors, providing the
fact of having all
subjects consented to be
included. Otherwise,
excluded.
TPMC e-clinical trials
project is designed to
be non experimental
group of studies, where
all enrolled patients
should be treated
according to the current
concerned and applicable
routine hospital
practice and standards
of care.
Project’s related
databases/co-investigators
firewalled private
portals were developed
with a user-friendly
interfaces and control
panels that made the
access to all logistics'
links easier and all in
one place: like user
details, incomplete
records, final records,
other users’ records,
cross-checked records,
under investigation
records, under
inspection records, fill
new records, patient
follow-ups, reporting
system, general
statistics, online
analysis tables, graphs
and system user
statistics/surveillance.
Development and
structural operational
plans of TPMC e-clinical
trials project were set
with a non compromised
components and
functionalities that
will fulfill all the
requirements of a large
scale number of
coordinating centers to
help in guiding and
training sites’
investigators, managing
subject eligibility,
subject consent form
entry, CRFs data entry,
patient follow-ups, ADR
and SAE reporting,
subject data protection,
data management,
monitoring, audits and
inspections, real time
on-Line data reports and
statistical analysis.
The whole project
integrated
software/components
including the data
management is developed
as highly strict,
well-controlled and
secured electronic
medical records and
signatures in both
procedural and
administrative controls.
For databases` security
reasons, hundreds of
high-end sophisticated
servers are under
installation based on
the calculation of 5
different servers for
each studied medicine:
1- Internet server
2- Email server: where
the authenticated users
- only - can access
their email facilities.
3- Application server:
where the authenticated
users - only - can
access their firewalled
private interfaces, and
applications.
4- Database server-1:
where the authenticated
users - only - can save
their incomplete records
or submit their final
records or follow-up
records.
5- Database server-2:
where a complete backup
is taken from Database
server-1 every 3 minutes
+ the authenticated
users - only - can
generate and read their
reports and do their
analysis.
In addition to a high
priority switches and
load balancers and many
more…..etc….
Back and forth
connections between
users and servers are
over 256 SSL bit
encryption and stored
backend data are
encrypted with 4 layers
of 4THD INC
authenticated encryption
keys that would never be
violated or breeched.
Any backup process is
designed to last not
more than 4 seconds & if
- for any reason –
exceeded this limit,
will shut down
automatically to be
repeated in the next
batch to take place
after 10 minutes.
Every 30 minutes a
complete encrypted
backup is transferred
from the main – timely
framed designated -
running servers to other
ones located among
different Fourth
Dimension e-medical
services Canada - (4THD
INC) - data centers
located in different 28
countries.
