› Ensures Consistent Acquisition Across All Clinical Sites
and Imaging Timepoints
• Standardized Procedure to Submit Image Data
• Provides Image Data in Standard Format
• Perform Independent Blinded Review
• Maximize Power of Image Data
Study MO18264 (PRIMA)
• Imaging Endpoints
– Progression Free Survival from maintenance
randomization (PFS) defined as the time from
randomization to progression, relapse, or death
from any cause.
Imaging Requirements
• Timepoints
– Baseline
– Induction
– Maintenance
– End of Treatment
– Follow-up
• Anatomical Region
– Chest, Abdomen, Pelvis
Imaging Requirements
• Scans Must be Performed Consistently Between
All Timepoints to Assess Endpoints
• Same Scanner & Technique Must be Used
Throughout the Trial
Retrospective Data Collection
• Retrospective Study Kit
– Instructional Letter
– Contains basic instructions
– Retrospective Data Transmittal Forms (rDTF)
– Film Labels
– Pre-addressed Waybills
– Supply Reorder Forms
– Envelopes/Padded Mailers
– Paint pens
– Used for blinding films
Retrospective
Data Transmittal Forms (rDTF)
• rDTF can be completed by Monitors, CRA’s or
site
• Multiple patients (3) can be listed on one rDTF
• Each retrospective timepoint must be
accompanied with an rDTF.
Image Submission Procedure
(Retrospective)
• Provide Complete Image Data Set
– Film or Digital Data Must be Submitted
– Include Retrospective Data Transmittal Form
– Ship all data to Bio-Imaging using the provided
envelopes/padded mailers and pre-addressed
Waybills
• All Retrospective data should be sent to our
Newtown Office
Imaging Study Kit
• Imaging Study Kit (for prospective data)
– Imaging Guidelines
– Includes blinding instructions
– Image Data/Archival Transmittal Instructions
– Data Transmittal Forms
– Pre-addressed Waybills
– Supply Reorder Forms
– Paint Pens
– Image Archival Media
 Optical Disks, Tapes, CDs
Imaging Guidelines
• Provide Detailed Imaging Requirements
– Sets Standards for Proper Image Acquisition
– Defines Timepoints for Imaging
– Sample Images, Both Correct and Incorrect
– Blinding
– Shipment of Images
– Bio-Imaging Contact Information
• Important for Radiology Technologists to
Read and Understand Guidelines
Image Submission Procedure
(Prospective)
• Provide Complete Image Data Set
–
–
–
–
After Each Timepoint
Submit Within 2 - 5 Days of Scan
Digital Data Must be Submitted
Include Data Transmittal Form
Blinding/Masking Procedures
Film and Digital
• Blinding Film Data
– Black paint pen are provided to blind/mask sensitive data
– Do not place tapes or stickers on the films.
› Only use labels provided by Bio-Imaging
› Do not place labels over the imaging parameters on the film.
• Blinding Digital Data
– Digital data should be anonymized (masked) prior to
archiving, by utilizing the study specific Investigator Number,
Patient Number and Patient Initials.
Blinding/Masking Procedures
(continued)
• Bio-Imaging will strictly maintain patient
confidentiality at all times.
• In the event that unmasked data is
unintentionally submitted, Bio-Imaging will
remove patient identifiers.
– A Quality Notification Form (QNF) will be forwarded to
the site

– Prevent Backend Delays
Communication To Sites On Quality
• Data Clarification Form (DCF)
– Query Regarding
› Imaging Data Received
› Data Transmittal Form (DTF)

• Generated by Bio-Imaging
• Requires a Site Response
• Must be Returned within 1 Week
of Issuance of Original DCF Form
Reasons For Queries
• Missing Demographic Information on DTF
– Patient registration #, Patient initials, etc…
• Mismatch Between DTF and Digital Media/Films
