Together with the principal investigator, I was in charge of managing the audit activity. We conducted thorough reviews of the study procedures, including the protocol, patient information sheets, informed consent forms, CRFs, source data such as medical records, protocol deviations, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) and SAEs. With certain observational findings, the audit of the site files (patient notes, pharmacy and drug records, signed financial documents/receipts, etc.) is effectively completed. ❖ The current Phase III Clinical Trial of the CanSino vaccine at Shaukat Khanam Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center was recently audited by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China.

With a few minor finds, we qualify this audit. ❖ The National Bioethics Committee (NBC) and the Pakistan Drug Regulatory Authority (DRAP) regularly schedule site audits; my PI assigned me the responsibility of ensuring that the site is prepared for the audit. We were able to state before the audit that our system was running at a suitable level of effectiveness, which helped us advance systems and procedures. ❖ Hospital audits were performed annually by JCI (Joint Commission International on Accreditation).
