1 ClinicalTrials.gov and FDAAA for NIH Grantees NIH Regional Seminar – October 2015 Rebecca J. Williams, Pharm.D., MPH Assistant Director, ClinicalTrials.gov National Library of Medicine http://ClinicalTrials.gov

2 Overview Introduction to Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) –Rationale –Requirements ClinicalTrials.gov Practical Considerations –FDAAA Next steps –Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) –Resources NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Resources and Tips 2

3 Rationale for Trial Registration & Summary Results Reporting

4 Why Conduct Clinical Trials? To obtain new and generalizable knowledge Key component of the body of scientific evidence that is used to inform medical decision making 4

5 How It’s Supposed to Work 5 Clinical Trials Informed Decisions Health Outcomes Journals FDA Reviews Systematic Reviews Meta-analyses Guidelines

6 Three Key Issues Not all trials are published Publications do not always include all pre- specified outcome measures Unacknowledged changes are made to the trial protocol that would affect the interpretation of the findings –e.g., changes to the pre-specified outcome measures 6

7 Kaplan-Meier estimates for ulcer complications according to traditional definition. Results are truncated after 12 months, no ulcer complications occurred after this period. Adapted from Lu 2001. Source: Jüni P, Rutjes AW, Dieppe PA. BMJ. 2002 Jun 1;324(7349):1287-8. 7

8 8

9 Summary of Findings Fewer than half of NIH funded trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov after September 2005 and completed by December 2008 were published in a peer reviewed biomedical journal indexed by Medline within 30 months of trial completion After a median of 51 months after study completion, a third of NIH-funded trials in the sample remained unpublished BMJ 2011;344:d7292 doi

10 Public Benefits of Access to Clinical Trial Data Meet ethical obligation to human subjects (i.e., that results will be used to help others/inform science) Inform future research and research funding decisions Mitigate information bias (e.g., non publication) Evaluate research integrity (e.g.,adherence to protocol) Prevent duplication of trials of unsafe or ineffective interventions Provide access to data to support evidence-based medicine Enhance patient access to enrollment in clinical trials All contribute to increased public trust in clinical research 10

11 11 Levels of Transparency 11 Zarin DA, Tse T. Science. 2008.

12 About ClinicalTrials.gov Clinical studies registry and results database –Over 198,000 studies (trials & observational studies) –Studies with locations in all 50 states and 190 countries –Privately and publicly funded studies involving humans –Study information submitted by sponsors Web Site & registry launched in February 2000 –Results database, in September 2008 –Over 18,000 studies with results Database updated nightly Usage –98 million page views per month –64,000 visitors per day 12

13 FDAAA and Other Trial Disclosure Policies

14 Why Register and Report Results? Required by most medical journals (ICMJE*) –Registration for all clinical trials (all interventions) http://www.icmje.org/publishing_10register.html It is Federal law! (FDAAA 801**) –Registration & results submission for “applicable clinical trials” http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/manage-recs/fdaaa Encouraged for all NIH-supported trials –Registration & results submission, even if not subject to FDAAA 801 http://grants.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials_fdaaa/ –New NIH Policy Proposal to make this *required* * International Committee of Medical Journal Editors ** Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 14

15 Other reasons … Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires NCT Number for coverage of routine costs of qualifying clinical trials U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requires registration and results reporting of VA- funded clinical trials U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) requires results reporting in a peer-reviewed scientific journal or ClinicalTrials.gov 15 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/manage-recs/background#WhyRegister

16 And more reasons… European Union requires registration and results reporting of certain drug and biologic clinical trials Declaration of Helsinki states that all research studies involving human subjects must be registered & researchers have a responsibility to make research results publicly available World Health Organization (WHO) considers registration a “scientific, ethical and moral responsibility” and states that there is an ethical imperative to report results And others!! 16 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/manage-recs/background#WhyRegister

17 17 “Medical advances would not be possible without participants in clinical trials,” said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. “We owe it to every participant and the public at large to support the maximal use of this knowledge for the greatest benefit to human health. This important commitment from researchers to research participants must always be upheld.” http://www.nih.gov/news/health/nov2014/od-19.htm

18 NIH Policy Proposal Guide Notice: NOT-OD-15-019 NIH-funded awardees & investigators conducting clinical trials, funded in whole or in part by NIH NIH-funded clinical trials must be registered and have summary results, including adverse event information, submitted to ClinicalTrials.gov –NIH revised definition of clinical trial (Oct 2014) Includes Phase 1, all intervention types (broader than “ACT”) –Same type of registration and results data and in the same timeframes as the trials subject to FDAAA Comment period closed March 2015 18 NIH Policy Proposal: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-019.htmlhttp://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-019.html Revised NIH Definition of “Clinical Trial”: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-015.htmlhttp://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-015.html

19 NCI Clinical Trial Access Policy Guide Notice: NOT-CA-15-011 Released: January 28, 2015 –http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-CA-15-011.htmlhttp://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-CA-15-011.html Final Trial Results are expected to be reported in a publicly accessible manner (peer-reviewed scientific journal or ClinicalTrials.gov) within twelve (12) months of the Trial’s Primary Completion Date regardless of whether the clinical trial was completed as planned or terminated earlier Will be incorporated as a Term and Condition of the award 19 NCI = U.S. National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute

20 What does FDAAA 801 require? The responsible party for an applicable clinical trial (ACT) subject to FDAAA must : 1. Register the ACT in ClinicalTrials.gov no later than 21 days after enrollment of the first participant; 2. Update the ACT in ClinicalTrials.gov at least once every 12 months (Recruitment Status and Primary Completion Date within 30 days) 3. Submit summary results (including adverse event information) for certain trials not later than 1 year after the trial’s Primary Completion Date. –Delays allowed in some circumstances 20

58 NIH OER Resources and Tips

59 NIH OER Resources “What NIH Grantees Need to Know about FDAAA” http://grants.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials_fdaaa/ Step-by-step guidance Flowcharts for ascertaining ACTs and RP “At-a-glance” requirements FAQs for NIH Grantees 59

60 Tips: Take a Team Approach Be aware of your Institution’s approach/SOP Work as a team to identify ACTs and RPs –Sponsored research office, PI, Counsel –Work across institutions –Take actions early to clarify roles and responsibilities NIH’s role –Resources –Cannot make determinations or register/report results on behalf of Grantee or RP 60 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-147.html

61 Tips: Plan Ahead Are the costs (including staff time) of … reporting … in ClinicalTrials.gov allowable charges on an NIH grant? –Given the nature of this requirement and that the project staff will generally be in the best position to submit and maintain these data, the costs of FDAAA compliance will generally be allowable as direct charges to NIH supported grants. While it is expected that these costs will be covered by the funds provided with the grant, administrative supplements could also be considered. 61 NIH Grants FAQs: http://grants.nih.gov/Clinicaltrials_fdaaa/faq.htm

62 Tips: Manage Risk Wisely Grantee Institutions as Sponsors –Do you have standard operating procedures? Including process for when key staff leave the institution –Training –Monitor compliance How will you ensure trials are registered and results reported? (Some institutions require NCT Number for IRB approval) –Use personnel appropriately to fulfill FDAAA Not necessary to have PI designated as RP in order for him/her to enter data Plan for registration and results reporting early in the trial development process –Implement appropriate record retention 62

63 Tips: Understand FDAAA Responsible Party must register and submit results for applicable clinical trials (ACTs) –Informed Consent –Updates throughout trial lifecycle –Certifications of Compliance Be attentive to rulemaking –Proposed –Draft policy requiring all NIH clinical trial grantees to register and report results published in NOT-OD-15-019 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-019.html 63

64 Tips: Create culture of disclosure The NIH encourages registration and results reporting for all NIH-supported clinical trials, regardless of whether or not they are subject to FDAAA FDA Compliance Program 7348.810: Sponsors, Contract Research Organizations, and Monitors* –Instructs FDA staff to identify SOPs and determine if studies were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov appropriately *http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/ComplianceProgramManual/default.htmhttp://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/ComplianceProgramManual/default.htm 64
