Q

Do we have to abide by both OHRP and FDA requirements?If so, when?

A

Yes. An NIH-funded study that involves the research use of an FDA-regulated drug
may need to comply with both sets of regulations – the FDA regulations because the
drug is an FDA-regulated product, and the Common Rule and its subparts because the
research is funded by NIH, which is part of HHS.

Q

HHS AND FDA REGULATORY DIFFERENCES?

A
  • HHS and FDA do not have complete harmony between their regulations.
  • Some examples:
  • HHS allows for waiver of written consent in minimal risk research; FDA does not recognize waiver of consent
  • FDA clinical investigation = research; HHS definition of research is very detailed and specific
  • Scope of responsibility
  • FDA – all food, drug, biologic and device research
  • HHS – research funded by Federal govt, or all research as per FWA

Q

DEFINITION OF GCP

A

Good clinical practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording, and reporting trials that involve the participation of human subjects.

Compliance with this standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and wellbeing of trial subjects are protected, consistent with the principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, and that the clinical trial data are credible (ICH, 1996).

Q

ICH PRINCIPLES FOR GCP?

A

1) Clinical trials should be conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, and that are consistent with GCP and the applicable regulatory requirement(s).

2) Before a trial is initiated, foreseeable risks and inconveniences should be weighed against the anticipated benefit for the individual trial subject and society. A trial should be initiated and continued only if the anticipated benefits justify the risks.

3)The rights, safety, and well-being of the trial subjects are the most important considerations and should prevail over interests of science and society.

4) The available non-clinical and clinical information on an investigational product should be adequate to support the proposed clinical trial.

5) A trial should be conducted in compliance with the protocol that has received prior institutional review board (IRB)/independent ethics committee (IEC) approval/favorable opinion.

6) Clinical trials should be scientifically sound, and described in a clear, detailed protocol.

7) The medical care given to, and medical decisions made on behalf of, subjects should always be the responsibility of a qualified physician or, when appropriate, of a qualified dentist.
