following must be done:
 Obtain a new, signed consent with the legal name.
 Notify the local IRB/IEC.
 Document the events in the research record and the actions
taken by the site.
 Ensure that there is documentation linking the two names.
 For monitoring and audits, the site must be able to show
that the names refer to the same person, (i.e., John Doe
is really John Smith).
 Follow local institutional/IRB policy regarding continued use
of the alias.

DHHS/NIH/NIAID/DAIDS
SOP Training July 27, 2002 Slide # 31
Medical Records – revised

outside sources to support endpoints or SAEs.
 Also, DAIDS Medical Officers may request that
records be obtained when investigating AEs.
DHHS/NIH/NIAID/DAIDS
SOP Training July 27, 2002 Slide # 32
Medical Records - revised
 Suggestions:
 Document all attempts to obtain records
pertinent to subjects study participation
 Acknowledge (in SD) when records are
missing
 Hospital records not held to GCP standards
 Obtaining records from outside sources is
driven by need to gather sufficient info for
adequate clinical assessment of the subject’s
medical condition.
DHHS/NIH/NIAID/DAIDS
SOP Training July 27, 2002 Slide # 33
Research Record
 All documents that are relevant & substantiate
subject’s participation in research:
 IC, SD, Pharmacy. Records, CRFs, etc.
 Subject consented and Investigator agreed to
monitors direct access to all records.
 Sites to produce record in it’s entirety:
 Source of data must be verifiable in original or
certified copies.

SOP Training July 27, 2002 Slide # 37
Error Corrections – revised
Suggestion for when it is considered necessary to give an
explanation for why data were changed:
 If it is something a reviewer can “see” or is obvious, such as
a transcription error, then it needs no explanation.
 For example, if the site corrected a lab value that was
initially transcribed incorrectly to the CRF then an
explanation for the correction is not necessary as long
as it can be verified with the original lab report.
 If it is not clear, like a diagnosis or symptom that was
deleted after initial entry, then there should be a rationale for
the change.
DHHS/NIH/NIAID/DAIDS
SOP Training July 27, 2002 Slide # 38
Other SD Sections to Ponder
 Contraception
 Study Drug/Agent
 protocol specified

subject, must be recorded in the research record and assessed for
clinical significance:
 Numerical grade or written description that corresponds to the
toxicity table.
 Exceptions for abnormal labs & non-reportable AEs that are
not clinically significant:
 Grade is NOT required.
 Assessment of event IS required.
 Staff must assess and grade event if it was originally assessed by
non-study staff.
 Relationship to study agent only if it is a reportable SAE.
 Alternate etiology if “not related” to study agent.
