What is an SOP?
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) are a set of written instructions that document a routine activity within your company/division/work group.

Who Needs SOP’s• Everyone who touches research!• Although not required by FDA, they are implied:
– Ex. - 21 CFR312.53 the investigator will “ensure that all associates, colleagues, and employees assisting in the conduct of the study (ies) are informed of their obligations in meeting the above commitments.”
• SOP’s are found throughout ICH GCP Guidelines.– Ex. - ICH GCP 2.13 -“Systems with procedures that
assure the quality of every aspect of the trial should be implemented.”

When do you use SOP’s?
• Every Day• In preparation for an audit/reivew• During an audit/review• Orienting new staff• Annual training
![Page 8: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Where do you use SOP’s?
• Sponsor’s site selection• Training new staff• Guiding all staff in daily processes• Monitor’s review
– Confidential Documents (internal review only)• FDA or other regulatory body’s review
– Confidential Documents (internal review only)
Example disclosure:

Why are SOP’s important?
• Consistency• Research quality & integrity
• all research being done follows ICH GCP, and institutional policies to protect the rights and welfare of human study participants.
• Written documentation of proper procedures
![Page 10: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why are SOP’s important?(cont.)
• Toolbox for staff• Documentation of staff training• Can be used to standardize your practice
versus adapting to every sponsor’s requests• Can be a pitfall if not followed
– If you have SOP’s you are expected to follow them– You don’t what an FDA finding that you didn’t’
follow your own procedures
![Page 11: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to establish SOP’s for your group?
• Identify your needs• Divide by functional groups
– Study Coordination, Regulatory, Data Mgmt…• Make a plan
– Team approach?– Lead author?
• Draft Ideas– Outline relevant categories– Outline steps
![Page 12: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to establish SOP’s for your group?(cont.)
• Check against other guidelines• Review, Review, Review• Approve• Implement/Training
![Page 13: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Let’s Get Started• Make a list of Big Ticket Items (consider your weakest links)
– Informed Consent Process– Assessing Sponsor Protocol Feasibility– Safe Handling of Study Medications– Subject Recruitment Process– Regulatory Files and Subject Records– Managing Sponsor CRO Audits– Serious Adverse Event Reporting– Responsibilities of the Clinical Research Team– Investigational Drug Dispensing, Return, and Transport– Trial Recruitment Expectation– Managing FDA Inspections
• Prioritize
![Page 14: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Suggested Elements?• State the purpose of the document• State the scope of the document• State who is responsible for following the procedures• Identify the other guidelines/policies that relevant to the
topic• Define specialized terms• Outline instructions/procedures• Version control• Document review/approval process• Appendix: referenced documents
![Page 15: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Get something on paper• Consider your team/company setup
– What approach is going to work best?• Create work groups to draft documents?
–One group to create all–Divide topics across several groups/teams–Utilize existing experts in your company
»Similar task?• Assign a lead author?
–Then take to a group for feedback/review
![Page 16: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Get something on paper (cont.)• Brainstorm
– Think about how you do each step– Consider what you know should happen in a
perfect world– Look for more efficient ways to do things– Start with main categories– Drill down into the steps for each category
• Name responsible parties by role not name
![Page 17: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Check Your Facts
• Most difficult part! Most important part! – Review against other relevant guidelines/policies
• FDA guidelines and CFR• GCP & ICH• IRB policy• Departmental policies/SOP’s• VUMC or company SOP’s
![Page 18: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SOP Review Process
• Involve those who will do it everyday– Better insight– Better buy-in
• Involve leadership– Key players with distinct expertise– Upper management
![Page 19: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SOP Approval• Establish an approval process
– Who will review?– Who will make decisions?– Who will sign-off?– Who is responsible for maintaining?– Who is responsible for revisions?– How to document?
![Page 20: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Implementation
• Should not be a surprise!• Decide how to present to your group
– Group presentation/training– Individual review of documents
• Paper copies• Online review system (Learning Exchange, etc.)
– Must allow for tracking completion
• Should never happen without follow up face to face conversations
![Page 21: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Implementation (cont.)
• Regular Review (annually, etc.)– Request staff feedback– Keep all previous versions
• Accessible – Binders– Central Portals– Online Systems
![Page 22: SOP’s: The 5 W’s and one H€¦ · PPT file · Web view2014-03-12 · SOP’s: The 5 W’s and One H Tiffanie M. Markus, PhD, CCRP Assistant Director, Cardiovascular Clinical](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021705/5b63df8f7f8b9aec518c71ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Documentation• Approval Process
– Sign and Date• On actual document• Separate Approval document
• Version Control (History of Changes; # & date)– Track revisions from document to document
• On actual document• Separate Approval document
• Effective Date• Staff Training
– Sign and Date• Signature log (paper or online system)

Helpful Resources (free)• Working Practice Guidelines (WPG)
– Step by step instructions on how to do a specific job– Should change more often then SOP’s
• SOP development assistance– Your not alone and should not re-invent the wheel– Other VU or company departments– Duke Global Health Institute (
http://globalhealth.duke.edu/resources/sops)– NCI (retired website, but SOP’s still available for download)
