  8. CRIC Organizational Structure

  9. CRIC Strategic Roadmap Timeline

  10. Implementation Timeline • Phase 1 • Evaluation • EDC project initiated by Biostatistics to support COH in-house trial data needs • Ten EDC/CTMS vendors identified for consideration • Two leading EDC systems selected for deep dive • Phase 2 • Pilot • Conduct pilot of two finalist EDC systems • Medidata Rave selected as recommended system for COH • Phase 3 • Create Buy-In • Medidata approved by COH leadership • Negotiated contract with Medidata • Identified two pilot studies • Phase 4 • Implementation • Trained CRIC staff to build studies in Medidata EDC • Implement two pilot studies • Gene-therapy study (07082) • Breast cancer study (08166) • Offer Medidata EDC as a service to COH investigators in April 2010

  11. Evaluation Criteria • Evaluation Dimension • Description • Usability: Interface • Conformance to user requirements. Fit for purpose for data capture and study management • Usability: Reporting • Standard reports and report building tools for decision support • Usability: Scheduling Reports/Exports • Ability to automate delivery of reports and exports • Development Tool Usability • Maturity and flexibility of tools for developing studies • Study Rollout Capabilities • Ability to rapidly promote studies from test to production • Data Integration • Interfaces and web services for integrating with existing COH systems • Help Desk Support • Ability to meet service level agreements • Professional Services • Breadth and depth of service offerings, such as project management and subject matter expertise • Metadata Integration • Ability to export metadata from the system for integration with COH’s metadata repository • Vendor Stability • Vendor’s financial viability and ability to support their product in the future • Cost • Must be in alignment with COH mission as a not for profit medical center • 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance • Conformance to FDA regulations

  12. Benefit Business Impact for City of Hope Web-Based Enables multi-site studies with role-based security Rapid deployment of studies and mid-study changes Enables more timely data collection Data Validation Upfront data validation using eCRFs Reduced queries and improved data quality Reporting and Data Analysis Built-in reporting tools to eliminate “data black holes” Integration with SAS for data analysis Patient Enrollment Tracking More efficient tracking of patient enrollment for studies employing the EDC Regulatory Compliance Leading EDC vendor-based products have been used to support drug applications, which is the gold standard for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance EDC Key Benefits

  22. 1. Q: Can you integrate with other systems? A: Yes. We are currently working on integrating the EDC with the patient registration system, currently MIDAS. Medidata Rave can also integrate with electronic patient diaries, IVRS, laboratory data, ECG and other third-party applications and databases. 2. Q: What steps do I take to get my study into the EDC? A: Send an email along with a copy of your protocol to CRIC_Help@coh.org and a representative from the EDC team will contact you. 3. Q: When should I submit a request to the CRIC team regarding my protocol? A: It normally takes 8-10 weeks to implement your study in the EDC. We recommend that you contact us once your protocol has CPRMC approval and is ready to go to the IRB. 4. Q: How long does it take to deploy a study? A: It normally takes 8-10 weeks to implement your study in the EDC but our timetable will depends on our customer's timeline and the complexity of the study. 5. Q: What are your reporting capabilities? What standard reports are available? A: In addition to numerous standard built-in reports which provide users with study metrics and listings, the EDC also has the ability to provide customizable reports and ad hoc tools for user-driven report creation. 6. Q: What security measures are in place to ensure that no unauthorized users have access to the system? A: The EDC grants access to information only if and when users are allowed to see it, based on their roles and responsibilities. Frequently Asked Questions

  23. 7. Q: Are other Cancer Centers using Medidata Rave? A: Yes. The Mayo Clinic and Memorial Sloan Kettering are among the peer Cancer Centers implementing Rave. However, City of Hope has implemented the most studies as of October 2011, based on assessment from Medidata Solutions. 8. Q: Do you look at EDC system X (where X is the questioner’s favorite system)? A: We did deep and broad evaluation of commercial and open source solutions. Medidata Rave is the industry leader, so City of Hope can take assurance that we are using a best-in-class EDC. 9. Q: Did you do a buy-versus-build analysis? A: Yes, build would have been at least 10x more costly. The Clinical Research Informatics strategy is to leverage commercial solutions where available and focus our development on solutions that are not commercially available to give City of Hope researchers a competitive advantage. 10. Q: Is there a chargeback model in place for Medidata Rave or other CRIC services? A: Not currently. However, we are starting to do notional chargebacks (i.e., this is what it would have cost if you had to pay for it) as first step to transitioning to an actual chargeback model in the future, subject to Cancer Center leadership approval.
