ESSENTIAL BIOSTATISTICS CONCEPTS MADE EASY
DESCRIPTION
“Leave the statistics to the statisticians” – true, and both statisticians
and non-statisticians agree. However, statisticians don’t operate in
isolation. Communication and teamwork are essential for modern
drug development. A basic understanding of how each other
works can make everyone more effective. This short course is
designed specifically for that purpose. We aim to equip you with
the basic statistical concepts relevant to non-statisticians’ work,
and demonstrate how such knowledge can improve your own
performance. No formulae or Greek letters – guaranteed!

HOW TO COMPLETE A CDISC-COMPLIANT CRF ANNOTATION
DESCRIPTION
The annotated CRF (a-CRF) will document the tables, variable
item names, forms, visits and any other objects as well as code
lists in clinical trials. It is one of important tools to specify the
information about the structure of clinical database/CRF and
each datasets. The a-CRF is also required in a submission of trial
outcomes for review by regulatory authorities. When a clinical data
management processes a CRF, he should appropriately understand
how to handle the data collected in the CRF. Thus, CRF annotation
is essential to guide CDM to interpret and program definitions of
data set recorded in CRF. This workshop is designed to provide
the unique opportunity to hear from a variety of perspectives
on the challenge and goal of successful CRF annotation. The
topics will cover overview of CRF annotation, two types of a-CRF,
methodology of CRF annotation, data standards of CDISC/CDASH/
SDTM overview, diabetes case examples of two type’s a-CRF
etc. The interactive small group discussions will be included for
attendees to have an opportunity to discuss real-life problems and
solutions in day-to-day CRF annotation.

Session 2 | Comparing Regulatory Guidance for Medical
Information Worldwide: Are There any Differences
as to the Way We Respond to Healthcare Providers
and Patients Globally?
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Provision of medical information, publication planning, and medical
liaison services within biopharmaceutical companies have existed
in one form or another for about 50 years. Over the years, these
services have been introduced to countries areas across the globe.
With popularity comes the potential for regulation. This session
will review some of the different types of medical communication
models, review related regulatory guidelines in place, and discuss
the implications for the globalization of medical information, MSLs,
and publication planning organizations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Pharmaceutical companies are exploring new ways to develop their
Medical Information function, including centralized, decentralized,
and regionalized models. As the Medical Information function
evolves it is becoming clear that one size doesn’t fit all and
consequently there are now almost as many Medical Information
models as there are companies!
This session will explore the different strategies and plans that
pharmaceutical companies use to deliver Medical Information
services in China, the Asia Pacific Region, and Globally. The
discussions will look at the different approaches taken by different
organizations.
This session will explore globalization and regionalization as well as
Chinese strategies for providing medical information to customers.

Session Chair
Wendy YAN, MD, MBA
Senior Vice President, Head of Regulatory/Affairs
BeiGene (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
Encouraging innovation is one of the most important initiatives for
Chinese government. Many experts in pharmaceutical industry are
eager to develop innovation drugs in China. However, there are few
successful cases to bring innovative drug into China market due
to the characteristics such as high technology, high investment,
high risks and extremely uncertainty, etc. during innovative drug
development. In this session will invite several representatives from
industry to share their successful cases, experiences, and lessons
learned from the innovative drugs’ development. CDE reviewer will
be invited (tbc) to present from reviewer’s perspective. Hopefully
this session could be of assistance and guidance to the industry
peers.

Director, CMC Regulatory Affairs, GSK
The aim for the presentation is to help China CDE, National lab
and CHP to work together to address quality of products, rather
than each department works independently to issue new policy/
guideline. There is a real case for antibiotics quality control in China
which creates difficulty to industry. CDE requires all antibiotics
product specifically to meet EMA/CHMP/QWP/199250/2009 Setting Specifications for Related Impurities in Antibiotics, which
requires any unknown impurity to be either controlled at <0.2%
in product or to be identified. However it is clearly indicated by
EMA this guideline is not retrospective so only applicable to new
registration, and all existing product just needs to comply with EP.
It reflects insufficient communication between ChP and CDE.

In past 4-5 years, CFDA started to arrange overseas site inspection
for overseas applicant. Current inspection is focused on selected
ones based on reasons, no routine pre-approval inspection for
every application although it has been implemented for every
domestic new drug approval. So we can foresee more and routine
overseas inspection related to drug approval in future. So overseas
site inspection will be on the critical path for new import drug
approval in future in China. It is critical to have the effective and
efficient inspection from both agency and applicant perspective

Medical Sciences
It is shown that only 60% of the time is used for subjects’
enrollment during the clinical trial, and the other 40% is wasted
on the approving issues by government departments, sponsors,
CRO, ECs and site management offices. Being a participant of
the trial, everyone has the reason for using the time on reviewing,
negotiating and bargaining with EC, legal departments and so
on, these kinds of process will waste time from 2 months to 6
months and even longer. In this session we will invite some experts
representing various fields to discuss, from different aspects, how
to speed up the clinical trial, to develop effective methods to solve
the problems we have met.
Join the conversation:
#DIA中国
In multicenter clinical trials, each clinical trial will undergo an initial
full-board review, subsequent annual reviews and so on by IRBs
varying from several to hundreds. These multiple IRB reviews
create a largely redundant, time-consuming workload. Last year
NIH issued a draft policy to promote the use of single institutional
review boards or IRBs to reduce duplication of effort, speed the
initiation of important research, and save time and taxpayer funds.
Is it time for us to use single IRB in China? What kind of crisis
may meet if single IRB is used? In this session we will invite some
experts from several fields to discuss on the feasibility of ethical
review by single IRB in China.

CLINICAL OPERATION RISK BASED MONITORING
Session Chair
Vicky CHEN, MD
Senior Director, Clinical Development, Greater China, INC Research
The conduct of clinical trials requires the sponsors to monitor
clinical trials in order to ensure an adequate protection of research
subject rights, safety and welfare as well as to ensure the quality
and integrity of the data collected that is going to be submitted
with the purpose of marketing applications. With the increased
complexity of studies, there is a need to focus on the most critical
data elements using a risk-based approach to monitoring. The
effective integration of data sources and its analysis are key
enablers for the innovation aimed at improving efficiencies. The
use of computerized systems and the continued digitalization
offer unique opportunities for data driven decisions and quality
oversight. The aim of this session is to explore the challenges
and opportunities for the risk based monitoring strategies in
emerging regions such as Latin America and Asia. The complex
regulatory framework, increased communication technology tools,
cultural diversity and the increasingly globalized approach for the
conduction of clinical trials create unique difficulties for sites, and
sponsor/CROs in diverse geographies when implementing risk
based monitoring strategies.

streamline both process and expectations across the industry in
light of the recent regulatory guidelines, papers and initiatives
that have been developed. Quality by design, risk assessment
and risk management comprehensively secure an adequate
study risk-quality balance that ultimately provides cost efficiency
and economies of scale around how late phase research can
be managed. What impact would an integrated centralized site
management and robust risk management process have on the
outcome of late phase research?

When a new medicinal product is approved for marketing,
demonstration of safety and efficacy is generally based on data
from a limited number of patients. In clinical practice, a broader
range of patients are treated (e.g., age, co-morbidities, concomitant
medications, genetic differences), and events too rare to occur
in clinical trials may be observed (e.g., severe liver injury). The
continuous analysis of relevant safety, efficacy, and effectiveness
of a medicinal product throughout the lifecycle is needed. This
section will discuss about the post-marketing studies, safety signal
evaluation and benefit-risk assessment during post-marketing

Due to the success of immunization (vaccine), some diseases are
no longer perceived as a threat. Like drug pharmacovigilance,
risk communication is a really important part of the success of
pharmacovigilance to ensure the minimization of negative effects
to individuals. The PV communication of vaccine is somehow similar
like drug pharmacovigilance, however definitely some special for
vaccine safety communication, e.g. communication to support the
immunization program. In recent years, misleading and alarming
drug safety information, including vaccine safety information,
spread via web sites and new social media. This may impact public
health. How to deal this? In this section, we are talking the safety
of vaccine, risk communication.

has its side-effect” when referring to its safety. In recent years, more
and more attention goes to the safety issue of TCM, and meantime
comes misunderstandings. To develop and internationalize TCM,
the bottle neck is the insufficiency of study data. With the evolving
of drug safety and pharmacovigilance system, there will be a
long way to go for healthcare authority, medical institutions, and
pharmaceutical companies to establish a system for TCM safety.
In this session, we are going to invite the TCM officers from CFDA,
experts on TCM and representatives from TCM companies to join

In the past few years, with the rapid development of direct acting
antiviral agents (DAAs), treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection
has been revolutionized. Most of the chronic hepatitis C patients
can now be cured with interferon-free pan-oral therapy with a
short duration of therapy. However, clinical data on the use of these
DAAs is grossly lacking in Chinese. And there are also important
clinical issues, such as duration of therapy, pharmaco-economic,
patients with advance liver diseases that drive physicians,
scientists, pharmacologists for the continuous efforts with even

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO ENSURING QUALITY IN CLINICAL
TRIALS AND COMPLIANCE TO GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE (GCP)
Session Chair
Deb DRISCOLL
Vice President, Global Medical Quality Assurance, Pfizer
A quality management system (QMS) is an integrated framework
through which organizations can systemically plan and achieve
their quality objectives. While ICH Q10 provides clear guidance
for QMS in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, no existing
guidance describes a framework that provides an enterprise-wide
view of achievement of clinical quality objectives; that is capable
of being customized to fit an organization’s unique circumstances;
and that accommodates the variability inherent in clinical
development. In the absence of such guidance, clinical QMS
vary dramatically across industry, sometimes resulting in overengineered, cumbersome systems that are not adaptable or fit forpurpose. Without change in industry perceptions, a Clinical QMS
will continue to be viewed as rigid and as a barrier to innovative
approaches in clinical development and to delivery of medicinal
products to patients in need.
This session will invite our CFDA officials to share their expectations
of quality and clinical QMS in China in the future. We will describe
ongoing activities of a TransCelerate workstream evaluating clinical
QMS. Panelists will discuss ongoing development of a concept
paper describing a progressive clinical QMS framework designed to
provide a consistent, streamlined, and proactive quality approach
across all stages of clinical research. The concept paper will be
supplemented with more tactical guidance for issue management
and knowledge management; panelists will also review these
workstream activities. The concept paper and associated guidance
will assist industry in moving from what regulators have described
as a one-size-fits-all, traditional quality approach to an innovative,
streamlined quality model focused on preventing “errors that
matter.”

SITE MANAGEMENT & SMO
Session Chair

Executive Director and Head of SMO Services, WuXi Apptec.
SMO has been widely and deeply involved in current China
clinical research site operation, and it takes important role on
improvement of project progress and quality. However, under
uncertain regulation environment and complicated medical
environment, it exists a lot of arguments in SMO operation model,
SMO-site collaboration model, how to properly use of SMO in
clinical projects etc. That's why SMO/CRC has become a hot
"topic" at recent industry conferences. The industry players have
common belief that more extensive discussion on this topic would
help more build reasonable cooperation model with SMO, benefit
compliance of SMO operation, then finally improve China clinical
research industry.
On this session, we will heard voices from study site, SMO
and sponsor, together share experience and resolutions to the
complicated clinical site operation environment, eventually
improve the efficiency and quality of China site operation.

Since US FDA issued in 2004 the "risk based factory inspection," it
effectively managed its limited resources to ensure the compliance
of all domestic manufacturers. However, the US has found multiple
quality incidents involving imported foods and drugs from
overseas. In 2008 US FDA has established overseas branches as
part of the international program to strengthen its oversight beyond
the border. Today, US FDA has local offices in Beijing, Shanghai,
and Guangzhou to manage issues related to exports to the US.
In 2009 and 2010, US Congress enacted FDA Globalization Act
and Drug Safety and Accountability Act, respectively, to provide
additional control of drugs that are imported from overseas. This
has significant impact on Chinese pharmaceutical companies as
China accounts for a large part of pharmaceutical raw materials
and products exporting to the US. In recent years, China has had
several quality issues that drew attention from the world. As the
trade continued to grow, regulatory agencies in both the US and EU
countries have increased their inspections in China as the supply
chain becomes greatest challenge. This session focuses on quality
and compliance inspections and quality regulations. Through case
studies and analysis, the speakers from both regulatory authorities
and industry will present from their respective points of view and
real-life experiences in quality and compliance requirements, how
to establish quality system and specifications, and best practice
and the risk management. It aims to provide coherent overview of
how Chinese companies can work collaboratively with regulators
and to achieve quality standards to ensure safety and best interest
for consumers.

Health authorities and industry must balance the need for patient
access to promising medical products which nonetheless have
uncertainties about safety and efficacy as full development
programs may not be complete. Also, national emergencies
such as pandemics, emerging drug resistance, and bioterrorism
necessitate regulatory mechanisms to both spur innovation
and product development as well as provide public access to
potentially useful products should crises develop. This session will
discuss both the regulatory constructs that exist around the world
to expedite access, development, and approval of these types of
important therapies.

credited for protecting human subjects during a clinical trial and
ensuring integrity of study. Although the process of RBSM various
significantly among pharmaceutical companies, the common
elements include (1) commit to protect human subjects and integrity
of safety information in the clinical trials – the organizational
culture ensures that all the members of the organization give
priority to patient safety; (2) understand hazards and evaluate risk
– the foundation of a risk-based approach; (3) manage risk – the
ongoing execution of RBSM; and (4) evaluation of effectiveness
of RBSM system - learn from experience via metrics, incidents,
audits and management reviews, provide direct feedback on the
workings of the system, and improve it.

MODERNIZING DRUG DEVELOPMENT: HOW THE VOICES
OF PATIENTS, RESEARCHERS, DRUG DEVELOPERS, AND
REGULATORS HAVE CONVERGED TO BRING INNOVATION TO
THE CLINICAL TRIALS PROCESS, HOW THAT IS CHANGING
VIEWS OF DATA COLLECTION TODAY, AND WHAT IS COMING
NEXT (BY MEDIDATA SOLUTIONS)
Innovation and modernization of the drug development process
is needed all over the world. There is a lot of unmet medical need.
There are 7000 rare diseases classified in the U.S., but fewer than
500 treatments have ever been approved by the FDA, in spite of
large annual investment in drug development. This problem is
greater when we look at common disease that has no cure.
This presentation examines the role of patients, researchers, drug
developers, and regulators working together to improve drug
development. It gives examples of how modern approaches are
being implemented today in clinical trials, when patients are
enrolled, data is collected, and in meetings with regulators to
discuss data, and paths to approval.

With world’s fastest growing pharmaceutical market in China,
Chinese pharma and biotech companies have an advantage
for simultaneous development and approval of new innovative
products in China and the US/EU, reducing the drug gap for
global products developed by Chinese companies. There are
also opportunities for global companies to partner with Chinese
companies to leverage this simultaneous development advantage,
creating new possibilities of international partnerships with
Chinese companies and bringing important new medicines to
Chinese patients sooner than ever before.

A Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) is a specialized research
professional working with the principal investigator and GCP
regulations. First deployment in the late 90’s, this role as has
become widely used in clinical studies in China. “SMO Association”,
a member of DIA, was established by the end of 2014.
Increased involvement of CRCs in clinical studies, as improved
quality levels to that of established trial markets like U.S. or Europe.
However, there are still a lot of challenges in the CRC business.
How must companies continue to invest in development of
CRCs, improve collaborations, uphold ethics and integrity in the
workplace.
Key Discussion Questions:
•
What’s the Best Practice of Collaboration (Contracting &
Payment) and Management (Reporting Line, KPI, etc.) Among
Sponsor, Investigator, and SMO
•
How to Evaluate the Workload of the CRC and the Cost
Elements of the Pricing Structure in order to Ensure the
Fairness amount Different Parties
