Webinar 24 January 2023 06:00 PM EAT - Implementation of Compliant Data Management at Clinical Trial Sites in Africa
Clinical Data Management is one of the critical processes in the conduct of clinical trials. The
process starts very early in the clinical trial and goes all the way to database closure and data
archival. The importance of a compliant data management process could not be overemphasized
since data quality de nes success in clinical trials. Moreover, all good practices are
meant to ensure credible data and the safety of participants. However, data management
process is not getting the attention it deserves in LMICs, Sub-Saharan Africa included.
In this webinar, we discuss commonly recurring data management issues in LMICs which are
detrimental to clinical trial success. The main themes of the webinar include optimal planning
in data management, early procedures with an impact on data quality, quality aspects in data
management, and other related aspects.

Edctp Fellow Awarded Wellcome Leap Grant For Tb Research
EDCTP Career Development Fellow Dr Virginie Rozot, a research officer at the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI), has been awarded a multi‑year contract under Wellcome Leap’s Delta Tissue (∆T) programme. Her research will investigate how the human immune system responds to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the thoracic lymph nodes, and why these responses sometimes fail, allowing the bacteria to spread to other organs. The findings are expected to inform future TB vaccine design and vaccination strategies.
