Background UNASSIGNED
Data and Safety Monitoring is integral to quality assurance of clinical trials.

Methods UNASSIGNED
This research note provides a detailed overview of the ReStOre II Clinical Monitoring Strategy and describes the development of the strategy pre and post awarding of the grant. The strategy consists of the establishment and implementation of a comprehensive trial governance structure, inclusive of a Trial Management Group, Trial Steering Committee Meeting, and Independent Data Monitoring Committee. In addition, external trial monitoring by the Clinical Research Facility at St James's Hospital. Three monitoring visits will be conducted during the trial; i) site initiation visit, ii) interim monitoring visit, and iii) close our visit.
Results UNASSIGNED
The Clinical Monitoring Strategy has been finalised and is currently being implemented within the ReStOre II Trial. Two site initiation visits and one interim monitoring visit have been completed to date.
Conclusion UNASSIGNED
This research note provides a template for implementation of a Clinical Monitoring Strategy in a non-regulated clinical trial.
Registration UNASSIGNED
