Teletrial site requirements
Information for sponsors and sites to help them set up and manage a teletrial.
There are a lot of benefits to using a teletrial.
It helps clinicians and healthcare workers in rural and remote areas to develop and improve their skills doing clinical trials. Sponsors are also able to reach more participants in a shorter amount of time.
Sponsors, primary and satellite sites also have responsibilities. We’ve developed a guide that outlines the steps needed to set up and manage a teletrial. It includes the documents you need for Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approval and site authorisation.
Read the Guidance for Sponsors and Sites on the Australian Teletrial Program website.
The guide includes:
- Procedures for sponsor, primary and satellite site responsibilities
- PICF: Teletrials specific wording
- Guidelines for Queensland HREC Processing of Teletrials Applications
- Notification to Reviewing HREC of a Satellite Site joining a Cluster
- Guidelines for Queensland RGO Review of Teletrials
- Example of Cover Letter from Primary Site to Primary Site RGO
- Example of Head of Department Letter of Support for Teletrials Model
- Teletrials Monitoring and Safety Reporting Plan.
The information in the guide is based on a primary site being identified, evaluated and selected by the sponsor in the usual manner.
