Identifying and Rectifying the Human Error in Randomization Plan
Identifying and Rectifying Human Error in Randomization Plan Introduction In clinical trials, accurate application of randomization is crucial for obtaining reliable results in the analysis of study data. However, human errors can significantly impact outcomes, leading to incorrect conclusions. This case study explores a scenario where human error in randomization led to discrepancies between the mean and standard deviation of glucose levels reported by KITE-Ai and Client analyses.. Download the Case Study Background The data presented in this case study is from a diabetes study, where subjects were randomized to active treatment and placebo groups, focusing on glucose levels. Two tables were created, each containing two columns: SUBJID (subject ID) and Glucose Level. Analyses were conducted simultaneously by KITE-Ai and the Client. However, the mean and standard deviation of glucose levels reported by each team did not match, indicating a potential issue. What we did? Data Analysis The discrepancy was traced back to errors in randomization applied by the Client. Specifically: SUBJID 23 and SUBJID 27 were incorrectly included in Active Treatment arm. SUBJID 28 and SUBJID 31, who were supposed to be part of Active Treatment arm, were excluded. This misallocation of subjects caused incorrect glucose level data to be used in the Client’s analysis, thereby affecting the final computed mean and standard deviation values. *Dummy data used, and image is for representation purpose only. The actual data and visualization remain confidential as a part of the CDA and DECP. Impact of Human Error The incorrect randomization had significant consequences: The mean glucose level reported by KITE-AI-Ai was 120.12, whereas the Client reported 122.75. The standard deviation glucose level reported by KITE-Ai was 34.49071, while the Client reported 35.64846. The inclusion of incorrect subjects (SUBJID 23 and SUBJID 27) in the Client’s analysis introduced erroneous data, resulting in a higher mean value. These discrepancies could lead to incorrect conclusions about the efficacy or safety of the treatment under study. Conclusion This case study highlights the critical importance of accurate randomization in clinical trials. Human errors, such as incorrect subject inclusion, can result in significant discrepancies in data analysis, potentially jeopardizing the validity of the trial’s conclusions. It underscores the need for meticulous data management and rigorous verification processes to minimize the risk of such errors and ensure reliable results. Although the case study is from live studies, actual study data is not used here to protect data privacy and dummy is presented here for illustration.

Exacerbations in COPD and Role of Tobacco Smoking, Clinical Indicators, and Medication Management
Hot News Exacerbations in COPD and Role of Tobacco Smoking, Clinical Indicators, and Medication Management Exacerbations in COPD and Role of Tobacco Smoking, Clinical Indicators, and Medication Management Objective of the Study? Assessment of COPD by understanding the burden of severe exacerbations of COPD. Assess the prevalence and impact of tobacco smoking on COPD exacerbations Evaluate the relationship between key clinical indicators (blood eosinophil measurement, COPD Gold Grade, mMRC dyspnea scale, and %FEV1 change) and severe COPD exacerbations, identifying potential predictors for exacerbation risk. Evaluating impact of Respiratory maintenance and reliever treatment medication exposure on exacerbations of COPD. Download the Case Study COPD Data Analysis? Change in Forced Expiratory Volume was analyzed as compared to Baseline for Statistical Significance. COPD data was summarized as per COPD Gold Grade. Summary reports generated to evaluate the relationship between key clinical indicators and severe COPD exacerbations. Patients’ data was summarized as per patients’ Lifestyles to get a summary of Tobacco Smoking. What we did? Patient’s lifestyle in terms of tobacco smoking within the COPD population. It includes the total number of patients (N) within the COPD population, as well as the breakdown of patients based on their smoking status: non-smokers, ex-smokers, and current smokers. The data is further categorized by country, providing insights into smoking prevalence across different regions. -Frequencycounts give the number of patients in each smoking category, while percentages show how smoking status is distributed within the COPD population and across countries. This information can help identify patterns of tobacco use and inform public health interventions aimed at reducing smoking prevalence among COPD patients. Patients’ dyspnea severity based on the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale within the COPD population. It presents the total number of patients (N) within the COPD population and the distribution of patients across different dyspnea grades. – The frequency counts provide a detailed breakdown of the number of patients experiencing each dyspnea grade, ranging from Grade 0 (only experiencing breathlessness with strenuous exercise) to Grade 4 (too breathless to leave the house). This comprehensive categorization enables a clear understanding of the distribution of dyspnea severity within the COPD population, delineating the spectrum of symptom severity. Additionally, percentages offer insights into the proportion of patients experiencing each level of dyspnea severity, both overall and within each country. This information can aid in identifying the prevalence of dyspnea and its impact on COPD patients’ quality of life across various regions. Patient’s blood eosinophil measurements within the COPD population. It includes both overall statistics and country-specific data, offering insights into the distribution of blood eosinophil counts (BEC) across different regions. – The frequency counts provide valuable insights into the distribution of blood eosinophil levels within the COPD population, categorizing patients into different categories such as BEC < 100 cells/uL, 100 cells/uL ≤ BEC ≤ 300 cells/uL, and BEC > 300 cells/uL. Additionally, percentages offer further understanding by indicating the proportion of patients within each blood eosinophil level category, both overall and within each country. This information can aid in identifying patterns of eosinophilic inflammation and its potential implications for COPD management across various regions. Patient’s COPD GOLD grade classification based on airflow limitation within the COPD population. Frequency: The frequency counts provide the number of patients falling within each COPD GOLD grade such as, GOLD FEV1% predicted ≥80%, GOLD 2: FEV1 % predicted 50-79% , GOLD 3: FEV1% predicted 30-49% ,GOLD 4: FEV1 % predicted Analysis of the change in %FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second as a percentage of predicted) from baseline to post-baseline within the COPD population. Baseline refers to the initial measurement or assessment taken at the beginning of a study or intervention. Here baseline %FEV1 measurement represents the lung function level at the start of the study or intervention. Postbaselinerefers to measurements or assessments taken after a certain period following the baseline assessment. Here, post-baseline measurements are typically taken at specific time points after the initiation of treatment or intervention. P-value: – The p-value is calculated using statistical tests such as the paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test todetermine the significance of the observed change in %FEV1 from baseline to post-baseline. – A low p-value (<0.05) indicates that the observed change is statistically significant, suggesting that there is a real Contact Us Experience of delivering More than 200+ Studies Under different therapeutic area Team of experience Professionals 40+ programmers With an average of 10+ years of experience Building a joyful client relationship 10+ satisfied clients Through a commitment to quality and trust.
