Plan

Planning a malaria clinical trial has several components from the initial idea, developing a question, undertaking a risk assessment, obtaining research ethics and other approvals for the trial and all the organisation that needs to happen before initiating activities at the clinical site(s). The Global Health Network has a very useful interactive Process Map to take you though these extensive planning stages.

Risk assessment


  • Risk management planning should take as much priority as project planning. The goal is to assure that the study is carried out correctly so that the outcomes are reliable and valid, and participants are safe. Plans will be put in place for monitoring participant safety and reporting safety data according to sponsor, ethics committee and regulatory authories

 

  • Any risks to the safety of patients and those who carry out the study, and to the integrity of the data should be identified in advance where possible so they may be mitigated.

 

  • Data collected during the study must be reliably and correctly gathered, carefully entered into the appropriate clinical record form and safely secured. If that is not done, the study cannot fulfill its purpose.
