Study Setup and Data Input
A step-by-step guide to create and configure a new clinical trial forecast in Prognosis.
Creating a New Study Forecast
As you navigate the wizard, continue to input the relevant information to your trial.
Countries and Depots
Begin by inputting your central depot in the top bar
- If new to Prognosis: "Create Central Depot"
- If a returning user: "Select Central Depots"
- The Central Depot is the location where manufacturing occurs or packages to be released
- Once a central depot is created, navigate mouse to "Add Countries" and click. Here, you will add all countries with patients in the trial. Multi-select all countries with sites participating in the clinical trial.
- Once countries are added, navigate to "Configure". Here, you will configure each trial.
- Step 1: add your central depot to the left hand bar
- Step 2: add your local depot to the bar to the right
- If new: "add a local depot" for the chosen country
- If returning: "Create new local depot" for the chosen country
- Note: Once created, depots will save to the Master Data and are eligible to be used in other studies with the same network
- If you have direct to site shipping, make sure to select "Direct to Site"
Step 3: Add the lead time from the central depot to local depot. Then select "Next: Country Settings"
- When configuring a country, input:
- The number of sites that will be in that country
- The lead time from local depot to site
Once Country 1 has been configured, continue to configure the remaining countries
- Press continue to save your work and enter next screen
Recruitment Dates
Countries in this section will auto-populate based on the countries selected in the previous window
- On this screen, enter the number of patients for Country 1, as well as the First Patient In (FPI) and Last Patient In (LPI) for Country 1.
- Continue this process for each country selected in the trial
- Press continue to save your work and enter next screen
Trial Kits
Begin with kit 1
- Input the kit name
- Designate whether it's an active, placebo, comparator or standard of care
- Input quantity of drug product within a kit
- Input shelf-life of the kit
- Input cost of the kit
- Press "Add Kit Type" and repeat for each kit type in your trial
- Once completed for each kit type, press continue to save your work and enter next screen
Label Groups
Create a label group name for Label Group 1
- Optional: add a description of that label group
- Select all countries for that label group
- If another label group: select "Add Another Label Group"
- Repeat the above for the given label group
- Once completed with all label groups, press continue to save your work and enter next screen
Treatment Arms
Define your name of your first treatment arm
- Input the percentage of patients that will be randomized into that treatment arm (Ex: if 1:1, then input 50% of patients in Treatment Arm 1)
- Input the maximum number of visits that patients will be treated for
- Define drop out rate for trial
- Input the percentage of patients that will drop for that interval
- Define the number of kits dispensed per visit
- Define the kit(s) that will be dispensed in that treatment arm
Define the frequency at which patients will be dispensed kits
- Repeat the above for the next treatment arm
- Note: the application will provide an error if the "Percentage of participants" per treatment arm doesn't add up to 100%
- Once completed with all treatment arms, press continue to save your work and enter next screen
Production Constraints
Define the manufacturing lead time for the manufacturing of the products
Note: this is computed in calendar days
If you have pre-scheduled manufacturing slots and/or lots already in inventory for this trial, select Add Lot Configurations
- Once in the module, add all fixed lots already in the supply chain for this trial
- Once completed, press "Save Configurations"
- Input the global overage to be considered for this study
- Input the site seeding per kit type per site
- Once completed with all supply parameters, press continue to save your work and enter next screen
