Investigator Training

Endpoint Assessment Training
Variability in the capture of study trial endpoints is a serious problem in clinical research, and for many companies, an overriding concern.  Our signature endpoint assessment training addresses this concern by providing precision-targeted, indication and protocol specific training and education. 

Whereas traditional training begins and ends at the outset of the study, our training is longitudinal and continuous.  We use industry experts armed with a host of customized tools and techniques all designed to promote and ensure endpoint consistency.  No matter what the indication, we provide the expertise and leadership to make sure all endpoint assessment techniques are standardized.  It is our passion.

We offer a variety of training programs depending upon your company’s needs that include onsite training and frequent reviews of endpoint data quality, usually as often as every 48-72 hours throughout the entire study.  Most importantly, the use of CAP–trained assessors is proven to greatly improve study endpoint data quality which increases your company’s likelihood of success. 

Site and Data Quality Management
CAP's site and data quality review is the cornerstone of its program and is unequalled in the industry. CAP continuously reviews data quality during the study to make sure sites properly evaluate patients and accurately capture critical data. CAP's proprietary systems and expertise permit it to identify and address potential areas of concern promptly . Problems are resolved, in most cases, long before clinical monitors visit sites, resulting in less formal queries and cleaner case report forms (CRF's). CAP's site and data quality review includes, but is not limited to the following:

• Ensure accurate capture of outcome measurements
• Assure all investigators are trained
• Review data using traditional and computerized methods for concordance with study endpoints and identify inconsistencies
• Discover any potential bias and suggest solutions
• Provide real time analyses of data for troubleshooting purposes
• Provide interim analyses of data for possible course correction if necessary
• Determine when additional training is necessary
• Evaluate site and investigator performance and suggest improvement strategies
• Serve as facilitator for study site questions
