Manage Studies

Set up a Study Datasheet for Vault Safety to automatically determine whether an adverse event is expected or unexpected in the Study. For Studies that include multiple Products, you can set up Study Product Datasheets.

In Vaults configured to isolate blinded clinical trial information, Vault can generate expectedness for blinded Study Products on blinded Cases. This requires you to associate Datasheets with Study Product Placeholders.

Enter the sponsor study number. Vault Safety references the study using the number that you enter in this field.

Vault snapshots this field to Cases linked to this Study and uses the Study Number to generate Case Names.

This field is also used in E2B, DSUR, and FDA 3500A report generation.

For Studies reportable to the PMDA (Japan), select the development phase.

For more information on fields for Japan-based Studies, see Add Japan Study Information in Set Up the Localized Business Admin Library for Japan.

Select the reason the patient was administered the Study Product. The following options are available, but your Vault may be configured with additional options:

• Clinical Trial: This option corresponds to E2B code 1 for data element C.5.4.
• Individual Patient Use: For example, compassionate use, named patient basis. This option corresponds to E2B code 2 for data element C.5.4.
• Other Study: For example, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, intensive monitoring. This option corresponds to E2B code 3 for data element C.5.4.

Vault snapshots this field to Cases linked to this Study.

This field is used to define postmarket studies for PADER, PBRER, PSUR, CIOMS I, and FDA 3500A reports. This field is also used in E2B report generation.

If this field does not appear, your Admin can add it as part of the steps to enable post market studies.

(Required) Select the masking level required for the study.

When this field is set to Double-Blind, you can use the Blinded field to enable blind protection.

Depending on your Admin's configuration, this field may have a different name.

Enter the start date for the study.

This field is for reference only.

Enter the completion date for the study.

This field is for reference only.

This field is used by organizations with a Vault Clinical Operations to Vault Safety Connection. When Study records are created or edited in the Clinical Operations Vault, values in the Protocol Title field are applied to the associated Study records in Vault Safety.

In Vault Safety, this field is for reference only.

Select the Organization that sponsors the study.

When selecting the Study on a Case, the Case must be associated with this organization to allow users to select this study.

Select the MedDRA version for the study.

This field is for reference only.

This field only appears when the following conditions are true on the Study record:

1. Blinded is set to Yes
2. Study Has Arms is set to Yes

Select one of the following options to control how Vault will snapshot Study Arm Product Dosage information to Cases involving the Study:

• When Case is Opened: Dosage information will be populated upon case promotion.
• When Case is Unblinded: (Default) Dosage information will be populated once the Case has been unblinded.
• Never: Vault will not snapshot Study Arm Product Dosage information to Cases.

Select whether the study is Open Label, Unblinded, or Blinded.

When you select Blinded, Vault applies blind protection to this Study and its Cases. Blind protection is activated after unblinding for Case Products and associated assessments.

Depending on your Admin's configuration, the Blinded field on Studies may be named "Blinding Type".

Select Yes if the study has arms. Once you save the Study, you can add Study Arms. Select No if the study does not have arms.

When creating Clinical Trial Studies, if your Admin has configured your Vault to isolate blinded Product information, we recommend selecting No.

You cannot change this field from No to Yes if there are any Datasheets associated with a Study Product Placeholder on the Study. You must first remove any Datasheets from the applicable Study Product Placeholder record and then update this field to Yes.

Select this checkbox if you want to create a Study with Unspecified Products.

This option is mostly for organized data collection of reports from non-clinical trial studies. For example, for Patient Support Programs (PSPs) and Market Research Programs (MRPs) that may not have Study information available, such as Study Products or Study Product Registrations.

If you select this option, Vault uses Product Registrations when evaluating reporting obligations for Cases involving this Study.

Vault cannot save the Study if you select this checkbox for a Study that has Study Products, Study Arms, or Registrations.

Select the Core Datasheet for the Study.

Datasheets are used to automatically detect expectedness for an adverse event reported for a Study.

Select the Study Registration for this Study Product Country record.

When evaluating this Study Registration for General Reporting, Vault considers only those Case Products that are of object type Study Product that are linked with a Study Product record with an associated Study Product Country record as eligible for evaluation for that registration agency regardless of Study Product Role.

When evaluating this Study Registration for Marketing-to-Investigational (M>I) and Investigational-to-Investigational (I>I) cross reporting, Vault follows the standard cross reporting logic to find potentially cross reportable products. Using that Product, Vault finds any Product Registration linked to that Product by Study Product Country where the Study Product Role is Investigational or Comparator. Vault then looks for any Study Registrations that do not have an associated Study Product Country. Vault then evaluates the rule for the respective registrations.

Select the Study Product Role that applies to this Study Product Country record.

Any value you select here overrides the Study Product Role on the Study Product.
