2. Clinical safety studies
3. Studies of mortality/morbidity outcomes

Question 2: Your Investigator wants to participate in a Phase 3
Pharmacokinetics study. Pharmacokinetic studies are commonly
conducted in later phases to answer what questions?
Answer:

2. Information in sub-populations such as patients with impaired elimination
3. Drug to drug interactions
Question 3: A trial where the treatment assignment is not known by
the study participant because of the use of placebo or other
methods of masking the intervention: but the study team knows
Answer:
Single blind
,Question 4: A new study is investigating a new IND "glue" that can
be used to hold skin cuts together and decrease the chance of
scaring. You know children should be included because ICH E8
considers them a special population. In designing the protocol you
should expect to
Answer:
Include children in the general plan from the beginning
Question 5: Per ICH E8: methods used to evaluate patient usage of
the test drug should be
Answer:
Specified in the protocol and actual usage documented
Question 6: Which trial design is used for the specific purpose of
examining the interaction of A and B?
Answer:
Factorial design
Question 7: T or F- The Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)
is a separate entity from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or an
Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)?
Answer:
True
Question 8: What is the purpose of the "Data and Safety Monitoring
Board (DSMB)?"
Answer:
,To assess the progress of a clinical trial: the safety data: and the critical efficacy
endpoints
Question 9: T or F- The focus of ICH E9 is on statistical principles:
however: it does not address the use of specific statistical
procedures or methods.
Answer:
True
Question 10: For a randomized trial: the following is true
Answer:
1. The procedure to be followed: the necessary documentation: and the
subsequent treatment and assessment of the subject should all be described in
the protocol
2. Helps to avoid possible bias in the selection and allocation of subjects arising
from the predictability of treatment assignments
Question 11: Data and Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs) have the
power to recommend which of the following?
Answer:
1. That the sponsor should continue the trial
2.That the sponsor should modify the trial
3. That the sponsor should stop the trial
Question 12: You need to maintain the blind in a clinical study.
Which of the following options might you use when administering
supplies in the clinical trial?
Answer:
, Double-dummy

the sample size?
Answer:
Primary variable

research protocol and you need to limit the occurrence of
conscious and unconscious bias. Which of the following methods
may be used?
Answer:
1. Single-Blind
2. Masking
3. Double-Blind
Question 15: You are reading the findings of a clinical trial on hair
loss and use of shampoo. You note in the final analysis that data
was extrapolated from the subjects who participated in the trial to a
broader patient population and a broader range of clinical settings.
This is known as
Answer:
Generalization
Question 16: The Investigator at your site asked you to review a
protocol. The investigational product listed in the protocol already
has proven clinical benefits for the disease under study. This is
considered what type of trial?
