Sponsors do the same things too many different ways. Just make it the same!” “If you have standards without traceability, then you aren't really CDISC compliant.” Investigator FDA “Just because ‘subject’ is in the regs, doesn’t mean you have to use it. Patients think of ‘subject’ as a verb, and who wants to be subjected to something? Please use ‘trial participant’ instead.” Patient Advocate

Copyright ©2015 TransCelerate BioPharma Inc., All rights reserved. 4 ​ Problem Statement – Format and core content of study protocols vary from sponsor to sponsor making interpretation difficult for study sites, IRBs, and regulators. – Study protocols have become increasingly complex and lengthy driving up cost and time. – Manual set-up of clinical systems based on non-standard “manual” protocols is time consuming, costly, and prone to error. ​ Solutions – Develop a streamlined model clinical trial protocol, including format and core content, to ease interpretation and enable down-stream automation of many clinical processes. – Develop model protocol endpoint definitions, incorporate into piloting of the template. Background: Why a Common Protocol Template? ​ Guiding Principles – “Common” in a CPT: information always in the same place, means the same thing. – Is it better? Move beyond incremental improvements and current limitations. – It has to be better for everyone, but Investigators/Sites are the first priority. – A human readable template that paves the way for an automated solution and facilitates the use of data standards.

(TransCelerate), which has issued a common protocol template intended to be the basis for a forthcoming electronic protocol. Although our initial target audiences differ, we plan to collaborate with groups like TransCelerate to help ensure consistency for the medical product development community.” Other Advisors or Influencers

Quality The expertise of 18+ member companies has been tapped to develop the template – the work has been done for you. The template includes TA –specific libraries based on sponsor best practices. Sponsors will have the opportunity to suggest revisions, and the template will be maintained and updated over time. Broad adoption will help drive greater efficiency for investigators, sites, sponsors,, and regulators. Efficiency Sponsors can spend less time on low-value customization, and reduce time managing template maintenance. The template is easy for authors to use. Sponsors can adopt in a phased approach, and can choose to use either the Word version or Tech-Enabled version. You don’t have to go “all in” at the outset. Compliance The template is supported by FDA, and Health Authority feedback to date has been unanimously positive. Quality + Efficiency + Compliance = Value Harmonization Value
