Define settings
Once you have created and configured facilities in your study, study managers and clinical supply managers must specify the study's settings.
- Define settings for Testing mode first, so you can test and verify a study version using mock data.
- Configure settings for Production mode once you have verified that the study design and settings are working as expected.
- Configure Training mode settings to match those defined for Production mode, so that users who operate your study can get properly trained with the real study configuration using mock data.
- Add a locally sourced kit
Define locally sourced kits for your study's countries. - Add a region
You need to add regions to your study to be able to successfully randomize subjects. This procedure can also apply to rollover studies. - Specify study, enrollment, and visits settings
Typically, a study manager specifies these settings. They can configure settings for all modes simultaneously. We recommend you set and verify these settings in Testing mode first. These settings apply to all versions of the study and you can edit them at any time. This procedure also applies to rollover studies.` - Specify enrollment settings for minimization cohorts
When specifying the enrollment settings, if your study includes a minimization design , the system displays the cohorts in sections by each minimization design. Typically, a study manager specifies these settings. This procedure also applies to rollover studies. - Create or edit custom enrollment limits
Study managers can create custom enrollment limits to restrict subject enrollment based on specific criteria. Custom enrollment limits can be defined in all three modes: Testing, Training, and Production. - Understand source data verification
Source Data Verification (SDV) allows you to validate the accuracy of the data collected during the study. The SDV settings allow you to tailor the level of data verification required for a study and site. - Specify settings for Source Data Verification
Source Data Verification (SDV) settings allow you to tailor the level of data verification required for each study and site. These settings apply to all study versions and you can edit them at any time. This procedure is typically done by a study manager and also applies to rollover studies. - Create a source data verification strategy and assign it to a site
If your study uses targeted Source Data Verification (SDV), the SDV strategy ensures that SDV is performed for a specific number of subjects and for either all questions or only critical questions in a study. Any SDV strategy must be associated with a site to become effective. - Specify supply settings
Typically, a clinical supply manager specifies these settings. These settings apply to all versions of the study and you can edit them at any time. This procedure also applies to rollover studies. - Understand how dose holds work
Dose holds are crucial when an investigator needs to pause dispensation and respond appropriately to subjects' experiences concerning their health and well being. To make sure this feature is properly configured in a study, several types of users must do their part in creating and applying a dose hold. - Create or edit a dose hold
As a clinical supply manager, you can create a dose hold to enable site staff to pause dispensation for a subject due to safety reasons. A dose hold can be created in all three modes: Testing, Training, or Production. - Create and manage a partial dispensation
Define partial dispensation settings so that site users are able to complete a visit when there are not enough kits available at the site to dispense. Partial dispensation is only available when the dispensation of multiple kits of the same type is required for the visit and you have at least one kit available of each kit type that must be dispensed. - Create a min/max resupply strategy
You create a min/max resupply group to resupply a site or a depot only when their inventory is low. When the application checks inventory, shipments are created as needed to bring the inventory at sites or depots up to the maximum number of kits you specify. - Create a predictive resupply strategy
You create a predictive resupply group to resupply a site based on actual enrollment and planned dispensation visits. After running inventory, the application creates shipments to meet each site's inventory requirements for the coming weeks. You specify the number of weeks to consider and the number of weeks to order for. You also set minimum and maximum levels so that sites have sufficient supply for new subjects. - Create a blinded group of kits
Create blinded groups if you don't allow single kit ordering, and if the kits in your study use different packaging. Blinded groups determine the kit or kits that are added to a single-kit shipment to protect the study blind. This procedure also applies to rollover studies. - About signature configurations
Learn more about creating signature configurations. - Create a signature configuration
As a study administrator, create a signature configuration to allow sites to sign off at the form and or visit level using custom affidavits. - Manage signature configurations at the casebook level
Define a signature configuration at the casebook level. - Configure the connection to Oracle mHealth Connector so you can dispense devices
When a study dispenses IoT-enabled devices managed with Oracle mHealth Connector, you must establish a connection with Oracle mHealth Connector so that data collected from the devices can be sent to the appropriate application. To establish a connection, you enter a user name, password, and URLs for Oracle mHealth Connector. This procedure can also apply to rollover studies, according to how the rollover study is designed.
